| Marble Relief |
It's a pretty well established fact that the
Dayton Art Institute is an amazing resource that far too many Daytonians ignore. There are school groups that go through that even though the kids are right there they're still not opening their eyes and seeing it all.
To help you, my dear reader, to more fully experience the vast collection of the DAI I have put together a small scavenger hunt. I've included just a few bits that are focused in a single area. But to give you an idea of what I'm talking about there is to the right a picture of a marble relief... Where is it?
The marble relief is close to a more recognizable statue. But just because something isn't featured doesn't mean that it isn't worthy of attention.
Most people familiar with the DAI will recognize these miniature figures playing a board game.
But what about this rooster that is only inches away?

I went to the DAI regularly growing up and I feel it is important to encourage not only the children to pay attention to art, but also everyone on a regular basis needs to look around and see what there is. In an attempt to help you see with new eyes I've put together two sheets. Nothing fancy, just a little scavenger hunt. Some pictures will be easier than others, but the goal is to look at each of the six images and figure out where they are in the museum.
