7 Amazing Things You Can Do in Google’s Arts and Culture App

7 Amazing Things You Can Do in Google’s Arts and Culture App

by Malika Karoum / Sunday, 01 November 2020 / Published in Malika Karoum Global News

Google’s Arts & Culture app is a miniature mobile masterpiece, which anyone with even a passing interest in art will enjoy exploring.

Launched in 2016, it was originally designed to complement the Google Arts & Culture website, which lets you virtually visit thousands of galleries and museums around the world.

But the app—which you can download for free for Android and iOS—goes far beyond that. It uses the latest technology to deliver an immersive, educational, and entertaining art experience. Let’s take a look at its highlights.

1. Match a Selfie to a Painting

The best-known feature in the Google Arts & Culture app is undoubtedly Art Selfie. It finds your art lookalike among thousands of famous paintings.

To discover whether you more closely resemble the Mona Lisa or The Laughing Cavalier, tap the camera icon and select Art Selfie. Take a photo of your face and Arts & Culture will locate matching portraits.

Don’t expect the results to be exact doppelgangers, or even anyone you’ve heard of (though one of our matches was 28th US president Woodrow Wilson). Tap the picture for information about the subject, artist, and collection, then tap View artwork to see the piece in close-up detail.

Incidentally, there have been complaints in the Play Store that Art Selfie no longer works, but just hangs. We also had this problem, until we switched from cellular to Wi-Fi, which kicked it into action.

2. Transform Your Photos Into Artworks

Even more fun than Art Selfie is the Art Transfer feature. This turns your photos into works of art in the style of specific painters.

Select Art Transfer in the camera menu, then either capture a photo or use an existing one from your phone. Tap one of the thumbnails of classic paintings and historic artifacts, and Google will use its AI to apply that style.

Options include Edvard Munch’s The Scream, Claude Monet’s Ninfee Rosa, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Man from Naples, and self portraits by Andy Warhol, Frida Kahlo, and Vincent Van Gogh.

You can apply a style to only part of your photo by tapping the scissors icon and tracing the desired area with your finger. The app also creates a GIF showing the transformation of your image into art. Tap Share to download and share your masterpiece.

3. Insert Yourself Into Works of Art

Google Arts & Culture is also one of the best augmented reality apps. You can see this in the Art Filter tool, which uses AR to turn you into a living work of art.

Select Art Filter in the camera menu, then choose one of the five artifacts or paintings. These include a Japanese Samurai helmet from the 19th century, Van Gogh’s Self Portrait (again), and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Tap Try filter to activate your camera and apply the filter, Snapchat-style. It will adapt to the position of your head and even your facial expression. Tap the circle to take a photo or hold it down to record a video.

When you’re done admiring yourself, select View artwork to learn more about the original piece.

4. Project Artwork Around Your Home

You probably don’t have $ 80 million to spend on a Monet for your kitchen, so Google Arts & Culture lets you hang classic paintings for free. It uses augmented reality to project full-size versions of masterpieces anywhere in your home.

Press the camera icon and tap Art Projector. Point your camera at the floor, move it in a circular motion, and a grid of dots will show you where the projection will appear.

You can then choose one of 50 famous artworks, including Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks, Grant Wood’s American Gothic, and Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

As if by magic, the actual-size painting will appear in front of you on a stand. Tap the frame icon in the bottom-right corner to hang the picture on a virtual wall. Walk towards an artwork to examine it in detail, as if it were really in front of you.

Art Projector is also available for thousands of other paintings in the Arts & Culture app. Just look for the View in Augmented Reality option.

5. Explore a Virtual Gallery From Home

You can use the Arts & Culture app’s brilliant Pocket Gallery feature to explore some of the world’s best art without leaving your home.

Select Pocket Gallery in the camera menu, then point your camera at a flat, well-lit surface and move your phone around slowly. As with Art Projector, a grid of dots will highlight the augmented reality area.

Choose a virtual gallery from nine options including Meet Vermeer, The Art of Color, and Chauvet Cave. The size and scale of these tours means you’ll need to download them first, but this also makes them easy to revisit.

Press Enter to step into the gallery, where you can tap and swipe your screen to explore the contents of each room. Alternatively, move your phone manually to look around.

The name of the artwork and artist will appear as you “approach” a piece. You can also reverse-pinch your screen to zoom in and examine the craftsmanship.

6. Play Art-Themed Games

Although you can try Google Arts & Culture’s games on its website, tapping your phone’s touchscreen makes them easier and more fun to play than with your mouse.

For example, Art Coloring Book offers monochrome outlines of more than 20 famous paintings and photos, which you can color in using the palette of your choice. Just pick a color then tap a segment of the picture to fill it in. You can save and share the result.

Puzzle Party creates jigsaws from hundreds of artworks, which you can either solve yourself or collaborate on with friends. Simply press the puzzle pieces and move them into place.

There’s also Visual Crosswords, which challenges you to group thumbnail images by theme, such as Contemporary and Renaissance art, or paintings by Van Gogh and Gauguin.

To play these games and more, keep scrolling through the Arts & Culture app until you reach the Games section.

7. Bring Ancient Creatures to Life

If you enjoy viewing museum exhibits of fossils and long-extinct species, you’ll love Arts and Culture’s Meet an Ancient Animal feature.

This uses AR to place prehistoric beings in front of you, at their actual size. These include the Opabinia, a 500 million-year-old arthropod with five eyes; duck-billed, crested dinosaur the Amurosaurus; and “Hatcher”, the first Triceratops ever put on display.

If you can’t see the feature on the app’s home screen, tap the menu in the top-left corner, choose Collections, and select State Darwin Museum, which has provided most of the 3D images. Select an ancient beast, then tap View in Augmented Reality to bring it back to life.

Interact With Art and Culture

You could spend days exploring all the content in the Google Arts & Culture app. Try the interactive features we’ve highlighted to get a flavour of what to expect.

As well as browsing artworks and artifacts, you should also check out the app’s virtual tours of galleries, museums, and sites of cultural and historic interest. They provide you with a world of culture from the comfort of your phone.

And if you’re still hungry for more culture from the comfort of your couch, you can also check out some virtual field trips that make history come alive.
