Student Work: Living Paintings

My Humanities final is hands-down without-a-doubt my favorite assignment ever.

Instead of formally assessing my students with a cumulative final,

I give them the opportunity to bring a masterpiece {that we have studied} to life.

In addition to recreating the masterpiece,

each group selects a narrator to provide an in-depth analysis of the piece.

Here are some of my favorites:

Michelangelo's Pieta

Mantegna's Lamentations of Christ

Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring
