Art appreciation scavenger hunt

A statue or sculpture

Find a statue or sculpture in your town. Photograph the whole piece. Try to figure out from a sign or plaque who or what it represents.

Art team finale

As a team, pick your favorite artwork from today. Take a final group photo in front of it. Write down one reason why this one stood out.

Black and white art

Find an artwork that is only in black, white or grey (a sculpture, a black-and-white mural, a printed poster). Photograph it.

Color symphony

Find an artwork with at least three different bright colors. Photograph it and write down which colors you see most. Argue if you must.

Hidden detail

Find a small detail in a public artwork that most people walk past without noticing (a face hidden in a pattern, a tiny figure, a hidden symbol). Photograph the detail close-up.

Modern surprise

Find a piece of modern or contemporary art (something geometric, abstract, surprising or that you do not immediately understand). Photograph it and write one word for how it makes you feel.

Mosaic or tile art

Find mosaic or tile art (small pieces forming a bigger picture or pattern). Photograph it and try to count how many different colors of tiles you can see.

Mural or wall painting

Hunt for a mural, graffiti piece or wall painting. Photograph the whole work, then take a close-up of one detail you find interesting.

Quiz: Painting on a wall

A large painting made directly on a wall has a special name. What is it called?

Quiz: Tiny tiles art

Realistic vs abstract

Find one artwork that looks realistic (a real person, a real animal, a real scene) and one that looks abstract (shapes, patterns, no clear figure). Photograph both. Lay them side by side.

Statue pose imitation

Find a statue with a clear pose. As a team, imitate the pose exactly next to the statue and take a photo. Two of you copying, the rest framing the shot.

Story in art

Find an artwork that tells a story or shows a scene with people or animals doing something. Photograph it and write one sentence about what you think is happening.
