Symbolism:
1880s through early 1900s
This art period not only found its roots in France, but also
Denmark, Finland, and Russia. We looked at how Symbolism was not about a
certain style or technique of painting, but was about the meaning the painting
was to portray.
We also took a little side journey into the folk art of
quilting, and learned about the symbolism that could be found in the designs of
quilts.Each student made a “block” for our wire quilt.
