What is a 20th century artist that an eighth grader could mock on a piece of furniture?
Q. For an eight grade assignment next year, our gifted art class will be painting a piece of furniture of our choosing in the style of a 20th century artist of our choosing. I'm not farmiliar with any 20th century artist except for Jackson Polluck, but that's too easy. Could you supply me with information on some 20th century artists an eight grade art student could imitate on a piece of furniture? (Suggestions on where to get cheap furniture to paint are welcome)

A. Marcel DuChamp could work. He did things like take a bottle dryer (like a dish drainboard for bottles), put it on a table and say "it is Art". Andy Worhol, again easy to mock. His pop art included a thoroughly realist painting of a Cambell's soup can, Tomato.

A. Lincoln set the precedent (shamelessly and enthusiastically cited over and over by G.W. Bush) that a wartime President can pretty much ignore Congress and the law in order to provide for the the national defense. No president before or since has had the guts to jail American citizens by the hundreds with no charges, no access to lawyers, and no seeing the light of day. Habeas corpus? Lincoln had a war to manage, a rebellion where friend and enemy looked awfully similar, and he wasn't about to let a little thing like the law make the Union any less safe. After Lincoln, presidents sort of let Congress take the lead, and not much happened until my man Teddy Roosevelt came along. TR believed that the ability of the president to appeal… [cont.]

A. Good old FDR. I don't quite understand the man. He was soundly hated by the 'upper class' for supporting blue collar ideas; during the Depression he tried everything ( legal or not ) to get jobs going again; and then he signs Executive Order 9066 interring the most easily visible group of people to prevent spying.

A. 20th century art began with Modernism in the late 19th century. Nineteenth-Century movements of Post Impressionism and Art Nouveau led to the first 20th-Century art movements of Fauvism in France and Die Bruecke ("The Bridge") in Germany. Fauvism in Paris introduced heightened non-representational colour into figurative painting. Die Bruecke strove for emotional Expressionism. another German group was Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"), led by Kandinsky in Munich, who associated the blue rider image with a spiritual non-figurative mystical art of the future. Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract (or non-representational) art. Cubism, generated by Picasso rejected the plastic norms of the Renaissance by introducing multiple perspectives into… [cont.]

Act out a scene from one the pieces you are reviewing and it will kill time and keep your audience interested.

A. its the other way around. jazz, which was seen as the devils music by the traditional members of society, appealed to the younger 'flapper' generation. it made people less conservative, and as a predominantly black music, it mared a shift in the barrier of racial segregation throughout the us. it also epitomized the feelings of the time, and after the dissillusionment of ww1, a hedonistic lifestyle became pronounced, and people like louis armstrong and ferdinand morton gained fame. also during the prohibition era, jazz became a sort of emblem, and was a used throughout illegal speakeasies (bars). in summary, it showed the change from a conservative and olde-fashioned to a more modern america

A. To get as much valuable stuff out of the ground as possible. They paid poor locals money to dig gigantic holes and look for valuables. Some of the more important discoveries were the Palace of Knossos by Arthur Evens (I think he also did Mycenae), Troy by Heinrich Schlemann, and Babylon by Robert Koldeway. Their are obviously many more. Really before the 1950's archaeology was more about finding rare and exciting goods than unraveling the historical record. These archaeologists didn't bother to document the more subtle material remains or their relationship with other objects. As a result, their is plenty on information that is permenantly lost because they butchered their sites so badly.
