It is NOT just about museums! We all know that art gets licensed and used in advertising campaigns. Romero Britto –whose art incorporates elements of Cubism, pop art, and graffiti– has produced some very popular examples of that non-museum art. He is well known for using bright colors, bold lines, and patterns that jump off the page. In this session, the students will not just create art in this distinctive style, but they will also discuss the way a piece of art can be transformed into other products such as t-shirts, mugs, bags, etc. Art meets advertising in this classroom!
