    I got 7/11.

    At some point, when you realize how the test is trying to fool you you can basically get all of them right.

    BTW, the first 2 questions attempt to establish the norm with positive reinforcement and then they just start trying to fool you by making the kids look like the modern art question you got right in the first 2 questions and vice versa.

    6/11

    #10 is a complete joke. And #3 was pretty damn impressive.

    10/11. I missed #3 as well. I guess it all goes back to a documentary about this subject. "My Kid Could Paint That"

    For people who got most of them correct, do you think there was a real method to distinguish or was it just luck?

    4/11.
    Shows how moronic modern art is, can't believe for how much money some pictures get sold.

    That, or it shows how moronic the average person is about modern art. :)

    Any people with art training here? I'd like to hear their opinion on this experiment.

    I got 6/11. Not very good, but generally I could tell if it was a toddler vs adult based on the color palette. After that, it was all up in the air.

    Not a fan of modern art personally.

    I know nothing about art, but I'm really good at guessing.

    10/11. I missed #9. I might have missed #3 as well if it didn't seem like a trick. I figured the ones that used a variety of strokes and techniques, (like #5) or would have required patience and repetition (#10) or physically strong brush strokes (#2) were by adults. I assumed the rest were by toddlers.

    I wouldn't say all modern art is garbage, but I think abstract art is a sucker's bet.

    I got 7 out of 11. I typically looked for something that indicated something intentional in the so called painting. Typically it was a wild ass guess though. Toddler art is just as good than Modern Art.
