Ever wondered what works of art you would buy if you were super duper rich and everything was for sale. For this project, you will imagine just that! Using, Google Arts & Culture, you will look at the art work of most of our Artists of the Week, choosing your very favorite painting/sculpture from each. These will become part of your personal Google Art Gallery! NO written explanation or anything --this activity is simply to look, marvel, imagine, and let your personality show by what you choose.
