ART HUNT
Judith Charves – W. E. Stebbins High School
Introduction
You art an ART HUNTER and you will be taking a journey
through the lives and art works of several well known
artists. You earn your living by recognizing and locating
original and famous works of art for your wealthy clients.
Your clients have requested several specific works of art and
you of course will do your best to find them. Your search
begins in art museums around the world.
The Task
You finally have a handsome list of clients that count on you
to find precious works of art---congratulations! Now, you
want to keep these clients happy so that they do not even
think of finding a new art hunter. How do you keep the
customers satisfied and your list of clients growing? You
make sure you know more about art than your average art
hunter. With the following list of desired paintings in hand
you set out to find more than what you’ve been asked to do.

particular artist, he may be interested in purchasing another
one, or, maybe even two by the same artist, or, in the same
style.

*Renoir
