Painting in the Style of a Favorite Artist High School Art

Students looked through a stack of books including Vitamin P, Vitamin P2, and a handful of New American Paintings, picked an artist that they liked, and then made a painting in the style of that artist using their own imagery. They worked on them for 2 weeks in class which is standard in my classes for something that is large and conceptually challenging. I might even give a couple of extra days if they seem to be working hard as a group and need it.
