High school students in Mr. Betts' and Ms. Suttons’ English classes recently teamed up with Mrs. Harlan in the HS library for a special project. In class, students have been reading "The Great Gatsby," a 1925 classic set in the Jazz Age—a significant part of the American Modernism Literary movement. Born after WWI, this movement marked a cultural and artistic shift in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One aspect was the rise of Cubism in art, where objects and figures are deconstructed and reassembled into abstract forms. Pablo Picasso was a leading figure in this movement. Mrs. Harlan guided students in an engaging activity where they could explore this rich literary and artistic movement to create their very own “Picasso” for display.
