Education is fun

Drawing is not primarily a creative means of expression, it is an intellectual activity - a way of understanding the world.

The visual imagery that children acquire through drawing is vital to their later understanding of subjects such as geography and maths.

The "draw-like-masters" APP calls for a broader, more rigorous understanding of the power of drawing as an educative tool. This is an initiative to get the whole world drawing.

Drawing and sketching were once activities limited to pencil and paper now thanks to The Rijksmuseum , dive into the online collection and let your creativity run wild.

The Collection

 

Rijksstudio opens up the Rijksmuseum collection for everyone to enjoy, with more than 100,000 artworks made freely available to explore in detail, touch, like and use in your own creations.

Bring together your favourite works, share them with friends or download the images free of charge to create your own new artworks. All images presented in Rijksstudio have been released for private and commercial use. All you need is your imagination!

The "draw-like-masters" APP was developed using the Rijksmuseum API. Each Search result will return the picture and also the title, a small description and the artist that made the painting.

A direct link to the Rijksstudio will be presented to the user on each work of art.

The Rijksmuseum Collection can now be enjoyed by people across the world. Even if you can't travel to Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum Collection is available to you.
