Your assignment:

Create a parody of a famous painting!

Step ONE

• Find a picture of your original famous painting.• Read a little about the artist’s technique in

painting.• If you want to see examples of art parody, you

can google either art parody or art spoof.

Step TWO

• Make associations, to find ideas that interest you, like:– Pop culture– Your interests– Your pets– Your family– Your town

You have options to consider:

Will you just change the “character” in the painting?

Will you just change the background?

Step THREE

• Show a picture of the original painting you choose to Mrs. Yuzik

* You can sign out a library book, or if you can print in colour at home, you can bring a picture TOMORROW from home.

• Make a sketch first• Paint until complete

Artists to Parody:

• Grant Wood – American Gothic• Leonardo da Vinci – the Mona Lisa• Edvard Munch – the Scream• Van Gogh – Bedroom, Café• Or other famous paintings by these artists• Or other famous paintings by Henri Matisse,

Pablo Picasso, or others

Painting must be famous in a sense that it is recognizable to people who know a little something about art.
