Recreating Modern Art
Students were given a presentation about what Modern Art was. Students learned how Modern Art affects everything we do and how it is still relevant today. Students also learned the history of Modern Art and how it is broken down into many different periods of art styles. Students were then asked to pick a period and artist they liked the most and do research into this time. After this, they then picked 4 painting by their favorite artist and attempted to recreate the paintings. This project was done with watercolor pencils, sharpie markers, and ceramic tiles.
