Welcome to our History through Art class!
Take a journey back in time starting with the history of Romanesque Art; along the way find out what Impressionism was, who were the major artists and why they painted in this “new” style. At the end of the class we will look at pop art and answer questions like; Why did Andy Warhol paint Campbell Soup cans? Connect and think about how history influenced art and become an artist yourself!
