There are many ways to examine the 2Oth Century, one of
which is to interrogate and respond to the cultural productions or art
work of the past one hundred years. As we end this century of invention
and innovations we can recognize that the art which represents our globally
mediated village is not restricted to that which is found in a gallery.
Rather, we have learned to value the knowledge we can gain from any aesthetic
product, from something made in a garage to billboards, TV shows, movies,
magazines, and web sites. Students in Horton's visual art program have investigated
the 20th Century through its aesthetic constructions. |

Students in Art 10 have been asked to collect, identify,
and respond to four visual products from the 20th Century to include works
which they interpret as political, expressive, observational, or spiritual.
These art works along with student interpretations have been posted in each
student's web pages.
ALSO, each student has created
a work to indicate their own identity as an individual who is creating
art at the end of this century. Since each of us find motivation and interest
in different arenas, students have been encouraged to create their work
in a way which is either political, expressive, observational, or spiritual.
These too are posted on their web pages.
ENJOY! |
