Students are introduced to great works of art and learn to use computer paint tools.
Reproductions of well known works of art are shown to a class. The students look at and discuss the works of art. Following the discussion students select an art work to copy. The reproduction is cut into squares and each student selects a predetermined number of squares to copy, the number of squares each student copies depends on class size and how the image is divided. The Rene Magritte images shown below, were divided into 16 squares. Students were introduced to computer painting tools and told to reproduce each rectangle. The students' completed rectangles are printed, cut out and glued to a backing.
