Abstract
This unit is designed to get middle school students in an art classroom thinking about the central understanding that all contemporary art is an assemblage of previous artistic influences. Through the creation of an Art History Remix, in which students reimagine and recreate a famous work of art, students explore the essential question: “What makes art original?” In this unit, students conduct in progress critiques of personal artwork and analyze the original artwork of famous artists and peers. Students begin developing the skills necessary to communicate about their own artwork and the artwork of others through both written and spoken word.
