Wearing My Art

Art is one of the ways people express their identity, feelings and the way they see the world. Through learning about different artistic styles, students explore how personal expression can take many forms, just like the clothes we wear. By decorating sweater cut-outs in 3–4 famous art styles, students reflect on how creativity is a part of who we are.
