Program Module: Art and the American Experience (8)

Study the work of artists exploring the American Experience. Students encounter America through the eyes of realistic artists like George Caleb Bingham, Dorothea Lange, Grant Wood, and Thomas Hart Benton, as well as in the work of modern artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Frank Stella. Like the work of the artists they study, students' art varies from realistic landscapes and historical portraits to reflections of conceptual psychological ideas and social commentary. Projects include a mixed media collage based on Robert Rauschenberg's combines, watercolor houses inspired by Edward Hopper, an etched door and foil-sculpted figure modeled after a piece by George Segal, and a mixed-media narrative influenced by living artist Flo Oy Wong’s Baby Jack series. The 12 lessons in this program module feature the masterpieces below.
