Description
Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
I want students to have a little bit of fun with art history. These three paintings are so famous that they are now part of the "pop art" genre. Other people make parodies of them, so why shouldn't we? In addition, I want students to have some practice with drawing skills and using a variety of materials.
I am a certified K-12 Visual Arts teacher.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
If students were to google their own image searches of parodies, they may find a few borderline inappropriate, such as cigarettes and middle fingers shown. We will not be looking at these in class.
