Are you looking for interactive strategies to help your students connect to the cultural context of art? Imagine that your students are milling around the room, talking to each other about the big ideas of modernism. In this lesson, participants will role play characters who influenced Georgia O’Keeffe’s artwork. Why did her painting shift from representationalism to abstraction? What personal and cultural influences were important to her development? Participants will try the meet-and-greet format, and brainstorm how to apply it to their own curriculum.
