Sharing a similar understanding of the human condition, Brueghel the Younger painted numerous genre and religious subjects derived from the work of his father. Pieter the Younger also invented original compositions such as Dance Around the Maypole, a painting in which his personality most clearly expresses itself. Have students bring in from home something that sums up the 20th century. Take a number of photographs of everyday life in today's society with a black and white camera. You can either develop them as a class, if this is possible, or the students can have them developed and they can create a photo montage of 20th century America.
Younger students can clip images from the newspapers and magazines.
A photo montage is a collection of clippings from photographs mixed with some clippings from a newspaper to create an art piece. The artist on the TV show tries to defend his art piece, while the Museum gives their reasons for exhibiting the piece. But unfortunately the demonstrators use their arguments to argue that the piece should be taken out of the museum. Students should be assigned to each of these roles and the rest of the class can take the part of the audience. As on the show the audience can raise their hands to ask questions and make comments.
