FAMOUS PAINTINGS

Congratulations, you have successfully completed your artistic journey!

Hopefully, this quest stimulated your interest and provoked you to explore further the fabulous world of fine arts.

Over the years, artists have used their creativity as a mean of communication; this type of communication could represent important information for the public, a protest, a method of entertainment, etc.

Think about the painting you have chosen for this WebQuest. What motivated the artist to create it? Learning about the social and political setting of that time and studying the artist's biography helped you have a better understanding of the selected work of art?

Try to talk with your family and friends about the painting. Do they have the same interpretation of the symbols as you do?

You can continue your artistic quest! Visit museums, art galleries and try to find that rare masterpiece that will someday replace -or be as famous as- da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Try to discover contemporary artists' biographies and determine their source of inspiration.

Enjoy!
