Imagine you are an art detective on a mission! Your task is to uncover the hidden secrets of some of the world’s most famous artworks. Each of you will receive a unique art card that features a famous painting or artist. Your goal is to use clues from the card to guess the artwork or artist before the timer runs out.
Form Groups: Split into small groups of 3-4 students.
Distribute Art Cards: Each group will receive a set of art cards. Ensure that each card is well hidden as this adds to the suspense!
Setting the Scene: Explain that each piece of art is like a puzzle waiting to be solved! As 'art detectives,' you will need to use the clues provided to deduce which artwork or artist you are examining.
Starting the Game: Set the timer for 5 minutes! Each group will take turns sharing their clues one by one while their classmates make their guesses. Remind everyone to think creatively and consider how style, colour, and emotion in the artwork can help them solve the mystery.
Discussion: After the timer ends, gather all students and discuss the artworks they uncovered. Encourage students to share what they found interesting about each piece.
