For a sub lesson I had to leave for students to complete, I chose to leave them a special drawing assignment. I showed them the Mona Lisa, Girl with a Pearl Earring, American Gothic, and a Frida Kahlo and asked them to give them a 2018 make-over. There have been some artistic renderings of famous paintings floating around social media, but the great things about this age group is that they are all up to date with the latest trends. I learned so much about what the fashion is like nowadays and what my students considered “cool”. This project was right up their alley! (Shown: Girl with a Pearl Earring in drag)
