Description

In this ARTSEDGE lesson, students learn about Lucas Samaras and Joseph Cornell, two artists who explored the idea of personal identity through their art. Both created small "portrait" boxes that reveal as well as conceal identity through the use of objects and symbols. Students research the artists' lives and backgrounds, and then use the concepts of symbolic representation to create their own identity boxes.
