Fair Display

Posted on | October 10, 2009 | Comments Off

The high school art teacher and I set up the Fairfield County Fair school display yesterday.  It was so much fun to fill the space with floor to celing works.  The lesson I had my students do for display was create a parody painting of Grant Wood’s American Gothic.  They created painting where they replaced one of the people in the painting with themselves and the other person with their favorite farm animal.  I found this quite appropriate since raising animals for the fair is a very big deal.  I was very impressed with what my kids created.
