An Art History in the Park At-Home Guide
Stories, looking prompts, and creative invitations designed for families, homeschoolers, co-ops, micro-schools, and curious learners of all ages.
Step into the bold, graphic world of Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure of Pop Art who transformed comic strips, advertising, and everyday imagery into fine art. Lichtenstein invites us to slow down and look closely at the images we see every day — and to ask how pictures tell stories, shape emotions, and communicate meaning.
This thoughtfully designed guide brings art history to life through storytelling, Harvard’s See–Think–Wonder prompts, and hands-on creative invitations that encourage visual literacy, critical thinking, and playful experimentation at home or in learning communities.
💡 Designed with depth for adults, and thoughtfully adapted for children
