    About Programmed to Paint

    Join Pintro the robot’s journey as he learns how to create art!

    Pintro is a robot who is practically perfect. He knows all there is to know about how to garden, how to bake, and especially everything about math. But the one thing Pintro does not know how to do? Make art! Whenever he tries, he just produces a perfect copy of the subject. While that’s not a bad thing, he knows there’s more to art than that. Can Pintro connect with his creativity and overcome his programming so he can finally paint the way he wants to?
