things that are not right and to try and figure out what they have in common
with the artist. Pass the prints from table to table until everyone has seen
each print.
- Hold up one print at a time and ask volunteers to point out their discoveries.
Point out exaggerated hands, feet, etc, missing table legs, heads with out faces,
and so on. Discuss reasons that he may have painted in this style. Ask the
students if they have figured out what they have in common with the artist (Lived

art. (Black, lived in city, etc.)
