Week Two Discussion: Versailles, Velázquez, and Rubens–Please answer all of the questions listed below–
- Versailles contains symbols of power and absolute monarchy. Pick a feature of the palace you admire and explain how you would use this as a setting for a computer program or a board game. What would happen in this setting? Who would be featured in the game (the king? the queen? noblemen?).
- Use the text as a source and research on line for a computer program to discuss. Consider the gardens, Hall of Mirrors, the layout of the palace itself, the furniture, the number of rooms, and paintings. Here is a link to a website that discusses how to design a game: http://www.gameskinny.com/yljvh/how-to-make-a-game-a-beginners-guide
