This lesson focuses on human expression and propaganda in 20th-century art. In addition to learning about form, function, content, and context, students will be pushed to analyze early 20th-century art. At the end of this lesson, students will complete a visual/ contextual analysis long essay question (FRQ 2). This lesson is intended to be used in conjunction with my 20th-Century Art Scrapbook, so after finishing this lesson, students will complete one activity page in the book. Please note that you DO NOT need to purchase my scrapbook to complete this lesson.
