Obra de arte de la semana: 52 semanas de arte, año 2

Each week we will learn about a new work of art and the artist who created it. Where its found, its impact on history and fun facts that get conversations flowing. Come for the art and stay for the laughs.

Our class will start with describing the art. What do you see? Pretend I can't see it? Can you paint me a word picture? How does it make you feel? Thanking about art on an individual level. Then as we learn we'll work toward a community or global idea with its impact on history and art such as events that may have made it more or less popular in the past and present

No two weeks will be the same. We will cover well-known and lesser-known artists and works of art. We will explore different cultures, countries, and mediums. Please review the list of selected works or themed weeks so you are aware of what your student will learn about.
