Tooken from Merlin – The Art Quiz

leave a comment

Bored so thought I’d do it. The ones you don’t know are actually quite easy to work out so I don’t feel all that clever any more!

Your result for The Famous Artwork Test…

The Blank Canvas

Impressive! You scored 19 on Artistry!

The world is your easel, go crazy! You are “The Blank Canvas”. This means that you were able to correctly answer at least 15 questions…you really know your art. I thought I could have thrown you for a loop with those art museums, but you persevered.

I recommend you go buy some art supplies and paint yourself. Just for laughs. Hell, it’d probably make a fantastic party game when everyone is completely tanked out of their minds. Then, afterwards, you can try and sell it to museums for mounds of cash! Hey, it worked for Picasso.**

Congratulations!

I have included an answer key below should you want to review the test. I also welcome any and all feedback (as long as it’s good) and please, don’t forget to vote!

**Statement not backed up by any remotely credible sources.

*****The test creator is not responsible for any injuries you might sustain from actually getting drunk and painting yourself. He wasn’t serious. Well, he might’ve been.*****

Answers: 1-D, 2-C, 3-B, 4-B, 5-A, 6-C, 7-B, 8-A, 9-D, 10-A, 11-C, 12-A, 13-E, 14-D, 15-B, 16-D, 17-E, 18-B, 19-C, 20-A
