Fire at MOMA!INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Go to the SF MOMA web site and look at some of the artwork displayed there—check out the exhipits page and the teachers resources page. Get a picture of the art piece that you have chosen to save and do some research about the artist and the work that you have saved from the fire.
  2. In class you will create a document with your name, the picture(s) and a brief statement outlining the reason why you chose the piece to save.

    Some things to consider:     The artist’s technical ability, the importance of the artist or the work, the message of the work, the historical value of the work, and the collections mission of the Museum.
