Game Manual

A. Object of the game

Supercharge your drawing skills! With Masterpiece you'll get the proportion and perspective of your drawing exactly right. The only limit on what you can draw is your imagination!

B. Drawing

First things first! Let's get you something to draw! Click Start Drawing to pick which image you would like to draw. You can pick an image from one of many categories in the Gallery, take a photo of your surroundings, choose an image from the camera roll, or do a search online for some inspiration.

Trace the lines of the image by looking at your screen (not the paper), and voilà, your masterpiece is made!

C. Enabling search

To keep kids safe online, you must first enable the search feature to work within Masterpiece. Log into myOsmo, click on the Account link on the left, then click on the Games link on the left and scroll down to view or change Masterpiece settings.

D. Editing images

Tap the blue hand icon at the bottom of the screen to edit the image. You can rotate it or move it around, resize with two fingers, or double tap to flip.

Tap the purple line icon to change the number of lines in the image.

E. Downloading time lapse videos
The Masterpiece app records time lapse videos of the drawing process. The time lapse will record automatically as you're drawing. When finished, tap the checkmark ✔️ at the bottom right of the screen. The app will take a final picture and generate a video. Both your image and the time lapse video will be saved to your camera roll and can be shared via email.

To delete a time lapse video, tap Visit Museum on the home screen, then tap the image corresponding to the video, and tap the trash bin icon ?️ in the top right corner.

F. Deleting source images
To delete a source image, tap the Clock icon ⏰ at the bottom of the selection screen to go to your History. Tap the trash bin icon ?️ in the top right corner, then tap the red X button on any image you wish to delete. Your personal Masterpiece images remain on your device only and are never uploaded or shared.

G. Practicing handwriting
Osmo provides English handwriting templates within the Masterpiece app. Lesson plans for handwriting and other Masterpiece features are available in the lesson plan section of myOsmo.

H. Downloading drawing photos and time lapse videos
Masterpiece will export JPG files for completed drawings to the camera roll. You can export them to another device or share them via email. Videos are in MP4 format.

I. Restarting a drawing
If you don't finish a drawing, History will store it with all its settings. Tap the Clock icon ⏰ at the bottom of the selection screen to see your History. Align your incomplete drawing with the outline before restarting.

J. Changing game settings
Settings can be changed by tapping the Settings icon ⚙️ in the top left corner. If the Osmo World app is installed, tap the globe icon ?, then tap ⚙️.

Troubleshooting

"No full image found" message

This message appears when the full resolution image cannot be loaded due to several reasons:

• Some images are inherently broken (uncommon).
• Loss of internet: the device cannot connect to the internet.
• Restricted internet: the app may not be able to access the website the image is from due to network restrictions (e.g., school networks).

Best practices for effective Osmo detection

1. If using a Creative Board, place it flat against the Osmo Base with the Osmo logo closest to the screen. If not using a Creative Board, secure your paper beneath the Osmo base to prevent movement.
2. Keep the reflector centered along the top edge of your device so the camera can see your drawing.
3. Play Masterpiece in a well-lit room.
4. Ensure you are using a device compatible with Osmo. Check this list of Osmo-compatible devices.
