Painting artworks, especially those having surreal or super-rational elements, are difficult for ordinary people to deeply appreciate in a static exhibiting manner. We believe that bringing interactivity to an existing painting would have benefits of emphasizing the theme, encouraging active and collaborative learning, and compensating its aura. To this end, in this paper we present DALI (Dalí''s Artwork for Learning Interactively), a multi-touch system designed to guide viewers in their processes of appreciating painting artworks. The current system runs on a multi-touch tabletop. 30 paintings of Spanish artist Salvador Dalí''s were digitized, deconstructed, and interactively displayed on the table. Visual effects on the paintings can be triggered by hand and finger gestures—an effective way of visual arts education.
