Canvas Caper at Rijksmuseum

Art: Media & Techniques Adventure Pack

Inside the grand halls of the Rijksmuseum, masterpieces are losing their texture and tone. Brushstrokes are blending incorrectly. Sculptures are mislabeled. Print blocks are out of order. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the art studio system. If explorers cannot identify media and techniques correctly, the creative balance of the museum could fade.

In Canvas Caper at Rijksmuseum, students pedal in on the Brushstroke Bike and enter a high-stakes art mission. To restore creative order, explorers must identify different art forms such as painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and printmaking. By learning about tools, practicing technique, mixing colors carefully, and following safe cleanup procedures, students bring clarity and creativity back to the gallery.

This adventure blends artistic expression and foundational art knowledge with exploration and hands-on thinking.
