THE PLAN
5 sessions; 80 minutes per session

Students learn about famous paintings while at the same time making it their 'own' by creating a 'parody' of the painting.

Students will be able to demonstrate proper control of acrylic paint.

Students will be able to understand how artists can take an image and change it to make it a new original artwork.

Examples of famous paintings for students to use as references.

Discuss what the term 'parody' means and give examples of it in different situations.

I show examples of parody paintings that I have gathered on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/donaldp/arted-parody/

Students find a famous painting that they like (for my students if they can't come up with their own selection, I make them do American Gothic) and then work on sketches of how they are going to change it to make it a parody.

Students are assessed on their parody idea (did they come up with their own original idea) of a famous painting.

Students are also assessed on thei use of acrylics and how they were applied to create the artwork.
