Covered bridges symbolize small-town America. Something from

nineteen-nineties eyes, picturesque and sentimental,
"kissing bridges" recall a time when life was simpler and
closer to the land—if only in our dreams.

A. Pintura: Art Detective
A. Pintura: Art Detective is an online game about art
history and art composition. In the game, you play a 1940's
noir detective with a degree in art history. A distraught
woman asks you to identify the artist who made a painting
she found in her grandfather's attic. To do so, you must
examine paintings by famous artists from Gauguin to Van
Gogh. Each example highlights an art concept such as
composition, style or subject. The story concludes with an
appropriate noirish twist, as the woman's true identity and
motives become apparent.

this exploration of Van Gogh's Bank of the Oise at Auvers in
