Patrick Dougherty has an artist in residencey with the Shreveport Regional
Arts Council March 1-12.  He does really cool work creating sculptures from
nature. Combining his carpentry skills with his love for nature, Patrick
Dougherty began to learn more about primitive techniques of building and
experimented with tree saplings as construction material. His work evolved
from single pieces on conventional pedestals to monumental scale environments
which required saplings by the truckloads. During the last decade he has built
over 100 works throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.

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.
