In my Art Theory II class that I teach my students had to give a presentation on an artist and create a work of art in the style of that artist. They were incredible and it was a proud moment as a teacher. Here are some of their creations.

Wayne Thiebaud
My student Sami did her presentation on Wayne Thiebaud. Who is best known for his vibrant colors with his cake and candy counter paintings. She copied a set of tempera paints. I am very impressed with her.
Robert Rauschenberg
Stacey did an impressive piece in the style of Robert Rauschenberg. He is known for his "combined paintings" which are sculpture/ paintings.
Here is a painting that one of my students did last year in the style of Rauschenberg. She did fabulous job.
Marcel Duchamp
My student Whitney created a Marcel Duchamp piece of art. He would take am object out of it's context and call it art. He is most famous for his urinal.
Pablo Picasso
Christina represented Picasso in an amazing way. Picasso was a communist who condoned fascist through his paintings. He is a cubist best known for his blue period.
Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky was an abstract painter who's work evolved from expressive free forms to the geometric abstraction of point and line.
David Hockney
One of my most creative and innovative students Kate, did her presentation on David Hockney. He was an eccentric and unique artist who didn't care about what people thought. To him painting is a, "process of seeing and thinking rather than imitating." He showed motion through his photo collages.
Eva Hesse
Arielle my student who will eventually go on to own her own fashion company presented Eva Hesse. Although Hesse had a short life (she died at 34) she produced a large amount of incredible works. She experimented with 3-D pieces using latex and fiberglass. Lines were important to her and which she was most interested in conveying.
