Altered Art History



This is a cool project I generally do at the end of the year with my high school class. 
I call it 'Altered Art History". It's actually based on a project I did when I was either in art school or in high school art class. I can't remember which. 

Basically, you take any famous artwork and alter it in some unusual or creative way. For mine, I re-drew a Brancusi sculpture (The Kiss) and drew it melting away.

Students can choose any medium, but most choose acrylics or watercolours.





They have to submit a little write up at the end. 





This one is a Bob Ross painting after a wildfire- a commentary on climate change.
