Good Morning Artists! Please remember you are only required to complete one activity each week, but making more is always encouraged. You may select to do a daily doodle, complete the prompt of the week, or read about a piece of art from the Art Institute of Chicago. What do you see? What do you think is happening? What do you wonder?
From the AIC website: This familiar image was exhibited publicly for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago, winning a three-hundred-dollar prize and instant fame for Grant Wood. The impetus for the painting came while Wood was visiting the small town of Eldon in his native Iowa. There he spotted a little wood farmhouse, with a single oversized window, made in a style called Carpenter Gothic. He used his sister and his dentist as models for a farmer and his daughter, dressing them as if they were “tintypes from my old family album.”
