Lesson: Elizabeth Peyton: Pictures of Royalty: The Imagined

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Elizabeth Peyton is an artist who creates images of people (often famous) that she doesn't personally know. These images become part of her imagined community. Learners analyze her work, her community of imagined friends, and then create a real or imagined community of their own. They use various art mediums to express their portraiture.
