Discussion Questions:• What was our artists name for today?• What art movement was he involved in?• Is our final creation from today 2-D or 3-D? • With taking time to design and create a one of a

kind form, do you think these decorative artworks should be more expensive or less expensive than another form that is mass produced and your could buy at a regular store like Target? Like a chair or bedroom set or a couch?

• Do you like decorative art works? Why or why not? See if your can explain your answer using art words you know…
