American Gothic?


Today we watched a video on all sorts of different types of art from the 1930s.
- Which was your piece of art work?
- Did you like a certain type (ex. Realism, Regionalists)?
- What characteristics of the artwork did you find appealing?
- What characteristics did you not like?
- Did you recognize any famous paintings like "American Gothic"?

Editor's Note: The following art pieces are from a website at Arkansas Tech University where students did their own version of a copy change using "American Gothic" but adapted other images, ideas or styles to the paintings to create Andy Warhol-like prints. Enjoy.
