Art Auction!-Aesthetics Game

An Art Aesthetics Game

Art Auction Video
(watch a small part to view a real art auction)

1. View the artwork for sale. (in a powerpoint)
2. Your task is to choose the work your group wishes to purchase, and offer reasons for desiring a specific work. 
3. Students will raise a paddle to make a bid. They must offer one reason why they would like to own the work. The group that offers the most reasons for wanting the work, wins it. (keep track with tokens)
4. As the auction goes on, groups who have not yet made a purchase, will have to bid on their second, third or fourth choice.
