Let's examine what makes the Mona Lisa so amazing, aside from her mysterious smile. During this class, popular images (and some not so popular) will be examined and critiqued. In particular, the ideology behind composition & contrast will be explored, touching upon depth, & perception. At the end of the class we will create our own master pieces & mat them! This course will be primarily lecture-based but will also include an end-of-class discussion & time to create a very simple piece using the concepts explored in the discussion/lecture. This class is structured to be at an AP level. It will be hard & you will learn a lot!

Utilizing the work of Mo Willems, an incredible children's writer, and many others, we'll (briefly) cover the issues surrounding picture books & children's literature. From the idea that children's literature is written for multiple audiences & how that plays out in a book, to what is meant by verso & recto, we'll cover many of the aspects of picture books & children's literature as well as the ideological issues surrounding the genre! If you so wish, bring some favorite stories of your own & we'll examine the books!!
