Quick Ideas for Using the Video:
- Have students compare the curator’s description of Mr. Haas’ work to what they see in the pieces. Do they agree? Would they describe his work differently?
- What is student reaction to the brush stroke technique used by Ms. Hackney. Have students experiment with the technique in works of their own.
- Have students compare Ms. Hackney’s water lily paintings to those of Claude Monet.
