Students were inspired by various ancient cultures such as the Aztecs, Mayans, and Greeks and the various monuments they created. We also looked at monuments in the United States and why they were created including Mount Rushmore, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial to design our our monuments for a specific purpose or place. Students also looked at installation art from Jeff Koons and Yayoi Kusama for an interactive element to their work. Using pop up techniques and colored pencils, they were able to create their masterpieces!
