Starving Artists

THE STORY

THE CLUES

Arthur, Anna, Alice, Alfred


and Arlene were five artists
trying hard to make a living.
They worked with charcoal,
oil paint, watercolor, mosaic
tiles and ink. They lived in
an attic, an apartment, a loft,
a cottage and a house. They
all had sold works of art, but
the highest prices they had
ever received were $250, $200,
$125, $100 and $10. Based on
the clues, match the artists
with their choice of media,
living quarters and
highest prices.

1. The most expensive work of art sold was the ink drawing,
which was sold by the apartment-living artist.
2. The least expensive work of art sold was the watercolor, which
was sold by the attic-dwelling artist.
3. Arthurs work of art sold for exactly twice as much money as
that of the cottage-living artist who worked with oil paint.
4. Arlene didnt live in an attic or an apartment, she didnt work
with oil paint, and her work of art sold for half as much as
Annas work of art.
5. Alfred didnt work with ink, and Arthur did not live in an
apartment or a house.
6. It cost less to buy the mosaic-tile work than the charcoal
drawing.
7. Alfred sold his work of art for more money than Alices work
of art earned.
