Program Module: American Art (5)

Learn about American artists throughout history and how their work portrays different aspects of national and cultural life. As they study the techniques of colonial painters, students learn to draw proportional figures; by comparing various landscapes, they come up with their own interpretation of a westward expansion scene. Students complete portraits in the style of John Singleton Copley and Gilbert Stuart and learn to show texture and detail in paint like Winslow Homer and John James Audubon. Additional projects include pop art prints inspired by Andy Warhol's Campbell's 100 Cans, Faith Ringgold-style quilt designs, and a clay food sculpture based on Claes Oldenburg's Two Cheeseburgers, with Everything. The 12 lessons in this program module feature the masterpieces below.
