Calavera Van Gogh Mash Up Portraits

This project originated from the National Gallery of Art. It was modified several years ago once a Dias de los Muertos Unit was added to the Expressions curriculum. It was my very first attemp at mashing up art concepts and the resulting student masterpieces continue to be the most stunning portraits and backdrop for our annual Dias de los Muertos exhibit. Since this project I have broadened my scope to seek out or create new projects that mash up ideas. What better way to expose students to artists, cultures, mediums and creative thinking!
