At the end of this WebQuest, each group will have learned about over 30 famous paintings dating back to the 1800’s! You will be asked to identify the artist, style, date of creation, the title, and materials used for some of the paintings. You will be able to use the school’s database, Art History books, the class textbook, and your own knowledge to complete this project. Once you have discovered all of the tasks for thirty famous paintings, by vote, we will choose ten favorites. Those ten paintings will be projected in the classroom one at a time and you will have to tell me everything you know about each one.
