Theme and Specifications

Theme: American Regionalism. Think Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood as well as the Luminist style — George Caleb Bingham and Henry Lewis. These artists created stories of the rivers and plains of the Midwest in America. Please interpret this theme to create your own story!

Painting by George Caleb Bingham 1811-79
