**TBY Trivia Challenge: ART**

[clewis]

All right, being an art school student and all, this is the sort of stuff I know. It came down between this and Star Wars, but I figure this might be a little more interesting for people.
Here goes...I'll start with a question relatively vital to the art world.

1. Which of the following artists is credited with being the first to invent and demonstrate the idea of linear perspective?

A.) Leonardo daVinci
B.) Jan van Eyck
C.) Pierro della Francesca
D.) Filippo Brunelleschi

[Faded Rose]

Speaking personally I think I would have preferred Star Wars...this is wicked (and I mean cruel not great) - It's something different thought which is good.

Let's try D.

[Blindtiger]

I think it's A.

[FrigidRoses]

C

[Faded Rose]

So far - so different.

[Quincy]

b

[Starlite]

I pretty sure I learnt this ages ago, but it's a blur.
I'll say D.

[blueone]

D

[FrigidRoses]

D

Wrong.

[blueone]

I failed art miserably at school. :lol

[Starlite]

I failed art miserably at school. :lol
I aced Art one term and then failed the next term :lol

[blueone]

We are PHail.

[burgerqueen]

I think I will be reaching back to my intro to humanities class I took, while I was still in high school for this one.

I'm going with A.

[raisemyglass]

I'll say D

[Sydneyfan]

Da Vinci pretty much invented everything. So A.

[strawberrywine]

c

[Libertine4Life]

dunno, whos pics are the best? they get my vote

[SkortBrun]

D

[ewok.online]

C

[ferris wheel junkie]

b

[maleneee]

C

[Donald]

d

[clewis]

All right, the correct answer was Filippo Brunelleschi.
The story goes that he was sitting on the steps of the Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, where he was designing and building the church's legendary dome, when he noticed all the lines of the buildings were converging into one point.

One point to:
Faded Rose
Starlite
blueone
raisemyglass
SkortBrun
Donald

Now for the next question, which is a little easier...

2. Roughly how big is the Leonardo da Vinci's legendary Mona Lisa?

A.) 28"x42"
B.) 21"x30"
C.) 7"x12"
D.) 14"x22"

[SkortBrun]

C

[FrigidRoses]

C.

Colbert is never wrong. :upyours

[burgerqueen]

B

[SkortBrun]

C.

Colbert is never wrong. :upyours

I don't "know" it's the answer, and I don't have any "facts" to back it up, but I feel it's the answer. I feel it in my gut.

[FrigidRoses]

If the "facts" contradict what your gut is telling you, we'll start a Wikipedia campaign to make the Mona Lisa 7"x12".

[blueone]

I've been to see it in the Louvre and it was quite big so I'll got with... B?

[maleneee]

D?

[Quincy]

D

[Starlite]

I missed out when I was in Paris :(
I'll guess D.

[Sydneyfan]

I'm really glad this question is so much easier than the first one....:lol

Umm, I'll guess D.

[raisemyglass]

I'm going with A.

[strawberrywine]

I've seen it and I thouht it was quite small so c.

[ewok.online]

B

[blueone]

I've been to see it in the Louvre and it was quite big so I'll got with... B?



I've seen it and I thouht it was quite small so c.

:lol

[Faded Rose]

B

I've seen it but think it was bigger rather than smaller...I think....I did A level Art but managed to fail....

[Blindtiger]

I think B too.

[fairbanks142]

her smile is 12''

[clewis]

The correct answer was B, 21"x30", which was small enough for daVinci to take with him on his travels from Italy to France. Supposedly, he began painting it in 1502 and didn't finish it until shortly before his death in 1519.

yep, Michael Connelly's books, the character is named after the artist in the book, that's the whole reason I know this answer.

D

[Faded Rose]

I read these ages ago and couldn't remember all the details except for the painting and the name.

[burgerqueen]

Well, luckily that was all that mattered for this.

[Blindtiger]

Since I don't have a clue and she is so convincing about her knowledge, I'll go with

:confused

[clewis]

The correct answer was Hieronymous Bosch, whose triptych "Garden Of Earthly Delights" shows the Garden of Eden, mankind sinning on Earth, and hell in 3 panels. The hell panel depicts bird creatures eating men, men with flutes up their ass, people being forced to vomit or defecate coins. Also, the cover to Celtic Frost's album, "Into The Pandemonium," is a small part of the hell panel.

Next question:
4. Which of the following artists is responsible for "Fountain," which was a urinal with "R. Mutt 1917" written on it, and later voted the Most Influential Modern Art Work Of All Time?

A.) Man Ray
B.) Pablo Picasso
C.) Marcel Duchamp

[Blindtiger]

uhhhh.... C?

[maleneee]

C

[raisemyglass]

C

[Faded Rose]

A - but really haven't a clue...

FWJ - 43 or 42?

[ferris wheel junkie]

43. definitely 43.

[strawberrywine]

c

[clewis]

Okay, the correct answer was C, Marcel Duchamp. When the Society of Independent Artists, of which Duchamp was a member, had an open exhibition in 1917, he bought the urinal new, brought it to his studio, turned it 90 degrees and wrote "R Mutt." to submit it anonymously.

This fifth question has nothing to do with art whatsoever, but I figured I'd use some Star Wars questions as tiebreakers if needed.

On which planet do Jedis get the crystals with which they build their lightsabers?

A.) Coruscant
B.) Ilum
C.) Kessel
D.) Utapau

[SkortBrun]

B?

Part of me wants to say D, but lets go with B.

[Quincy]

Finally, B

[burgerqueen]

oh god, I know less about Star Wars then I do art. I'll go with B.

[Sydneyfan]

B

[Quincy]

it'd be embaressing if I get it wrong now

[Sydneyfan]

:lol Some of us would never let you live it down.

[blueone]

B

[Starlite]

B!

[ewok.online]

B.

[FrigidRoses]

D

[strawberrywine]

b

[raisemyglass]

B!!

[Faded Rose]

It's between B and D but I'll go for B and hope. I wish we'd stuck to Art is all I can say.

[maleneee]

I have no idea, so I'll just go with B too.

[clewis]

The correct answer was B, Ilum. Nice job, everyone.
Supposedly, Anakin confronted the ghost of Darth Maul while building his first lightsaber on Ilum.

Now let's settle this.
With which of the following bounty hunters did Han Solo have a swoop race with through the crystal fields of Agrilat?

A.) Boba Fett
B.) IG-88
C.) Dengar
D.) Bossk

[Faded Rose]

A

But I have no idea - my Star Wars knowledge seems to have gone AWOL

[ewok.online]

But I have no idea - my Star Wars knowledge seems to have gone AWOL

This is the super-nerd stuff. :lol

It's either B or C...


I'm going with C.

[ewok.online]

Also, am I the only one who thinks IG-88 is way badass?

[Quincy]

This is where I am humbled.

[clewis]

Also, am I the only one who thinks IG-88 is way badass?

Pffft. Not at all.

[burgerqueen]

I'm going with C just because I like that name the best.

[Sydneyfan]

A fer sure

C

[ferris wheel junkie]

it was hugo a-go-go

[raisemyglass]

C

[blueone]

C

[strawberrywine]

c

[clewis]

Okay, the correct answer was C, Dengar. After Han beat him in the illegal swoop race on Agrilat, Dengar was severely injured and became part cyborg, hence the cloth wrapped around his head - to hide the robotics.

This next question, or how ever many it requires, will decide a winner between the four people with 5 points:
blueone
burgerqueen
SkortBrun

What is the name of the infamous "cantina band" that is performing in the Mos Eisley cantina in Episode IV: A New Hope?

A.) The Max Rebo Band
B.) The Sozzenels
C.) Evar Orbus and His Galactic Wailers
D.) The Modal Nodes

[SkortBrun]

C?

[burgerqueen]

D

[blueone]

I'll go with A, to be different. :rock

[ewok.online]

D

[Quincy]

I saw a street performer in Manchester who I swear was playing the music by the cantina band

[strawberrywine]

d

[clewis]

The correct answer was D, the Modal Nodes, led by Figrin D'an.
Originally, the Max Rebo band, who play in Jabba's Palace in ROTJ, were hired to play at the Mos Eisley cantina, but the Modal Nodes were so offended that they attempted to kill the Max Rebo band. After the whole fight and one dead member of the Max Rebo band, Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes kept their job at the cantina.
burgerqueen and ewok.online got it right and now have 6 points each, so consider this question the tiebreaker between you two. Good luck.

Who said the classic Star Wars line, "I have a bad feeling about this" in Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back?

A.) Princess Leia
B.) C-3PO
C.) Han Solo
D.) Luke Skywalker

C?

[FrigidRoses]

What a tie-breaker!!! :lol

[Sydneyfan]

Is wok's answer a riddle?

[ewok.online]

Is wok's answer a riddle?

No way, fool.
My answer is Han Solo.

[clewis]

...Nope. Princess Leia said it when the Millenium Falcon was inside the space slug and they were getting outside to investigate the mynocks attaching themselves to the ship.

All right, to settle this...something only I know for sure.

Which is my favorite Star Wars character?
A.) Darth Vader
B.) Boba Fett
C.) Han Solo
D.) Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Sydneyfan]

No way, fool.
My answer is Han Solo.

All I can see is a red X. And I never realised his name was Han before. I thought it was Hans. This quiz has been educational.

[clewis]

:lol
A long time ago, the Swedes conquered a galaxy far, far away.

[Sydneyfan]

:lol
A long time ago, the Swedes conquered a galaxy far, far away.

:P

[burgerqueen]

I really can't believe I've made it this far considering I've only ever even made it though one of the SW movies & I don't even know which one it was. My obsessed brother in law must have passed more onto me then I ever realized. :lol

I'm going with D this time.

[ewok.online]

Thats why I said in the shoutbox that I fucked myself and should read the whole question first.

I was thinking of the Detention Level Trash Compactor in Ep. IV.

I'm gonna go with B, Boba Fett.

[clewis]

Congrats Wok!!!

Congratulations E. Looking forward to the quiz. :rock

Another Wok-Trivia!?! :eek:

Congrats on the win!

[FrigidRoses]

I heard he peeks at the answers sheet. :nod

[burgerqueen]

congrats wok! What will our next topic be on?

[ewok.online]

I heard he peeks at the answers sheet. :nod

I got lucky with nerd-quality Star Wars questions. :D

I mean, The Crystal Feilds of Agrilat?
That's some deep shit.

[ewok.online]

congrats wok! What will our next topic be on?

I'm thinking Scrubs, maybe.

[FrigidRoses]

That would be good. Just make it something I don't suck at.

[ewok.online]

By "I'm thinking Scrubs", it'll probably be Scrubs because I'm too lazy to think up anything else.

[burgerqueen]

I may do ok with that, I haven't seen any of the new episodes though. I'll be good for everything that's out on DVD.

[clewis]

I got lucky with nerd-quality Star Wars questions. :D

I mean, The Crystal Feilds of Agrilat?

Damn right.

[ewok.online]

I just started re-reading the Corellian Trilogy.
Post-Jedi stuff is awesome.
Especially the Grand Admiral Thrawn story.

[Quincy]

I feel phail in terms of the Expanded Universe, there's just so much of it, where should I start?

[ewok.online]

well, for starters.

Go Here. (www.wookieepedia.com)

I highly reccomend the Grand Admiral Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn.

[blueone]

Wait, is Q actually a Star Wars noob? :eek:

[Quincy]

:lol I read a lot on EU on wookiepidea though, does that count? Do I hang my head in shame now?

I can bullshit on subjects though.

[raisemyglass]

Do I hang my head in shame now?


No.

I haven't seen a Star Wars movie in probably at least 15 years. I've seen the first couple (Jeti, Empire, etc.), but nothing of the new ones.

[ewok.online]

I'm nowhere as all knowing as I used to be, but I still know a fair amount.

[Quincy]

I went through a period at the end of the last semester with the 6 films on repeat.

[clewis]

I would say start with Splinter of the Mind's Eye. I think its one of the first EU novels.

[ewok.online]

Or Treaty at Bakura.

[ewok.online]

I would say start with Splinter of the Mind's Eye. I think its one of the first EU novels.

Published in 1978, according to Wookieepedia.
I think I read the graphic novel back in the day, but I don't think I've ever read the actual novel.

[clewis]

I got it at a thrift store last year for a buck.

[ewok.online]

Score.

[Quincy]

I see them everywhere. There's a shelf in Forbidden Planet that I just stare at. I've walked past them in charity shops, but then I walk past them again and they're gone.

I am full of film storylines tonight

[ewok.online]

Dear Q.
Just buy one.

The Rogue Squadron series is really fucking good, too.

[Quincy]

My first attempt was a huge phail though, it was a graphic novel of empire, but where luke dies at the start. It was so bad.

[ewok.online]

Let's make a list.
Print it off, go to the bookstore, get anything on the list.

[Quincy]

Sounds deserving of it's own thread to me.

[ewok.online]

You know, I like that idea.

[Quincy]

Shall I start said thread?

[clewis]

Yessssss.

[raisemyglass]

I have died and gone to hell.
