The paper need have 4 paintings and the subject you are writing about is how art can be used to help us understand modern history. Some questions you might want to consider as you think about the paintings you choose are: Why am I choosing this painting? What about it do I like or dislike? How do I see it relating to ideas or events or people that we have talked about in class? Are the artists I have chosen all of the same nationality or are they from different countries? Were they using their work to speak about certain political, social, or other issues in their day? What do you think the artist wanted the viewer to see or feel when looking at the painting? (I will provide the 4 paintings.)
