Art Game

Players:

2-4 per team

Field:

City Streets, Outdoors

Equipment needed:

Ideally one digital SLR camera per player with respective memory card. A smart phone will suffice as well.

Time:

30 min – 1 hour

Rules:

Teams compete to take pictures while continuously walking. Beforehand players agree on time of walk, area of walk, and memory card size. Players continuously walk around an area taking pictures. They may never stop walking, even when taking a picture. Players may delete photographs while walking if they desire. At the end of the agreed upon time players must be back at the start of the game. Players may play for best photograph, selection of photographs or best overall memory card. Themes can be added to create more direction to the activity, for example- eating or the color green.

Difficulty can be increased by making players shoot manually, or at a particular focal length.

A judge or panel of judges then fires up the images on a computer and/or projector and makes their selections.
