Artistic Response to Cultural Trends
Author: Jeff Orth
Grade Level: 8

The main outcome is for students to show understanding of culture, how it grows and changes, how a trend can effect society, how to respond to a cultural trend and understand the printmaking process. Students will look at two artists and investigate their visual responses to the cultural trends of their time period. This project will culminate in th student identifying a current cultural trend, write about the effect (positive, neutral or detrimental) it has on society and create a visual response, using relief printing, that shows their viewpoint on the effect the trend has on society.
