Scavenger Hunt

1. 3D Street Art



http://www.digindigin.com/blog/2013/04/02/top-10-breathtaking-3d-street-art-painting/ 

This is a very cool form of art, called 3D street Art. The person who made this particular project is named Julian Beever. I like this piece becasue it is very orginal. If you look at it from this perspective then it looks like the snail is crawling onto the bench, but when you go around then only the head of the snail is on the bench. and the shell stretches out all the way to the street where the people are walking.

2. Paintings/ Portaits.

 

This is one of the most common forms of artwork, painting and portraits. There are many famous painters that have created pieces well known across the world... this particular one was created by a man named Leonardo Da Vinci. It is called the Mona Lisa. Some people say that it was a woman he knew, others think that it even resembles him in a way. I like this painting because it really shows that he put a lot of work into it aswell as effort. This is the art work of a very talented artist.

3. Abstract Art




This is a different form of art. It is called Abstract art, this piece in particular is by a woman named Theresa Paden. I personaly don't like this sort of art style, because in my eyes I see no significance, but to each their own, none the less it is an interesting composition, which was worked on pretty hard I assume.
