Students in High School Art II & III, recently completed a project based on parody in art. First we learned the background story of the most parodied artwork in the world, Grant Wood's "American Gothic". If you would like to learn more about the story of that piece here are a couple of links to check it out:

For their project, our amazing students selected a famous work of art and created their own holiday themed parody of it. I was so so impressed with how much they got into this assignment. They did a fantastic job. I think you'll enjoy looking at them below. I also included the original artwork that was parodied above each student's version.
