Showing Original Post only (View all)Friday Art Quiz! - Cray-zee Over CTYankee [View all]
A Friday Art Quiz For The Rest Of UsYeah, I know, I know... it's another Friday afternoon here at DU, and you know what that means. All week long you've been waiting and wondering what CTYankee is going to post for the "Friday Art Quiz" and you figure that for the first time in your life you'll be able to recognize anything it or know what it is.
IF this Friday is like most Fridays, you'll again be totally flummoxed, look at the pictures, shrug your shoulders and move on.
But not this week. Not this week.
This week, we have an art quiz for everyone. No stuffy museums, funny sounding foreign names, and nekkid ladies looking like they walked into a blender as viewed through a kaleidoscope.
Oh no.
Today's art quiz is for all of us who spent art class learning the fundamentals. Y'know things like how to coat your hand with Elmer's Glue and then peel it off in one sheet; that "non-toxic means you can eat it!"; and "lefties need different scissors, really?"
Whether you had a box of 4, 12, 64, the really big one with the sharpener, or just a coffee can full of waxy little nubbins, this test will challenge your grasp of the subtle nomenclature of the Crayola spectrum.
Below are six images of Crayola crayon colors.
To get full credit, you must name the color and tell us your most vivid, strange, or unusual childhood memory of mastering the crayon. Bonus points if your memory is connected with the specific color.
