A few years ago, I stole a great idea from several other teachers that included the "Autopsy of an Empire" project. The students are assigned a major empire from the period of 1450-1750, and are to create a life-sized history of the personified empire. Due to the pandemic, we were unable to tackle this project last year, so it was great to bring it back this month. Per usual, the students worked really hard on this one and produced fantastic work.

Autopsy of an Empire {Make art with history}
I LOVE to incorporate art into any and all things in my classroom, whenever possible. The process of using historical knowledge to design and implement artistic ideas can be such an effective method to learn. And it is also fun!
