Using your digital camera or your phone to capture images, find 12 out of 20 examples of the following items. Results must be compiled into a single PowerPoint or Keynote presentation which will be posted by 11:59 on Monday, May 6th Only one response per question, meaning individuals cannot answer the same question multiple times in the same presentation. Also, the same work cannot be used for multiple questions.
The rules of this scavenger hunt are:
First Rule: You get 8 points for each item that you successfully find that meets the criteria. Second Rule: All attached images must be YOUR OWN photography. Therefore, if you attach images of other peoples art, (even though you are briefly describing and referencing images),INTERNET IMAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Also, do not photograph images from books or magazines!
Third Rule: For each image,
Clearly describe your slide; this includes desсrіption of medium, artist, date, title, and location.
Include a THOROUGH EXPLANATION OF HOW THE WORK SATISFIES THE CRITERIA (design terminology is a must). You will not receive credit without this. Fourth Rule: If you cannot find information about the artist, title, date use a different work. The only exception to this rule is where I have not asked for it or if it is graffiti (still look for this information though as many of the murals information can be found!).
The maximum points that you can receive on this project are 100 points, so take advantage and have fun!
PS if you want to include more than 12 of the items below to cover your bases, that is fine, but the maximum points you can get are 100. (You get four automatically) GOOD LUCK ! SCAVENGER HUNT LIST
