From
the websites listed on the following page, research and explain how the look of
Santa Claus has changed in art through the ages. You will also find that
technology has changed the way we view art and what constitutes as art in
today's world. Think of how this has had an impact on the portrait of Santa.
Remember to reflect on class studies about art history. This
should give you some clue as to researching time, place, and cultures of art
history.
From there you will take a look
gingerbread making and design. In class we will be building our own gingerbread
houses, so be prepared to test your own design skills.
You will:
Research how Santa Claus' appearance has
changed in art over the ages.
Research a variety of Christmas traditions.
Make up your own mind wether gingerbread
houses are art.
Design your own gingerbread house.
Create templates for your house that can be
used later for our in-class project.
