Art Club Term XX Activity 7: Art History Quiz RESULTS!

Photobucket


I didn't realize that many of these questions were going to be so hard, and I apologize for that, but I do hope that you have maybe learned something you didn't know, or maybe even discovered a love for an artist you had never heard of? I must admit that I included a couple of my own personal favorites, and am glad that most people were able to get them!

RESULTS
Gryffindor: 118
Hufflepuff: 385
Ravenclaw: 415
Slytherin: 226

Congratulations Ravenclaw!
Individual results can be found Here
Please let me know if I've made any mistakes!


ANSWERS!!
1. Salvador Dali
2. Pablo Picasso
3. Georgia O'Keefe although I also accepted Hedda Sterne
4. Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (or any recognizable part of his name)
5. Sandro Botticelli
6. Venus of Willendorf 24,000-22,000BC although I also accepted the Venus of Hohle Fels approx 35,000BC, and I have disregarded dates since I realized too late that many people did not put a date at all.
7. Vincent Van Gogh (featured in Doctor Who, although that is of course not everyone's fandom, and was just a quick trivia.)
8. Nan Goldin
9. Robbie Conal
10. Grant Wood (the piece, although not needed in the answer is "American Gothic")
11. Andy Warhol
12. Edward Gorey
13. Gustav Klimt
14. Roy Lichtenstein
15. Leonardo Da Vinci
16. Four periods which are distinguished in ancient Roman mural painting
17. Byzantine
18. Gothic
19. Arabesque
20. Norse Art

On 7, that's interesting, he was also recently featured on Warehouse 13 where his painting Stormy Night was an artifact that caused storms.

I personally loved how hard it was! I think it makes the whole challenge more fun!

DUDE. I totally missed the "she" in #3.

I'm sorry! I didn't even realize how many artists lost their eyesight due to this condition!

I had a lot of fun with this! I'm taking an Ancient to Renaissance art history class (again) so I knew 6 right away. I felt cool...

[identity profile] singlemomsummer.livejournal.com 2011-09-01 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
:) Yeah, many of these I knew from my art history courses. So much fun!
