“Art as Inspiration”
In this activity, students collect and share a piece of art that served or serves as inspiration for a historical figure or group.
In the novel, Albinoni’s Adagio inspires the cellist first, and then the others who hear the piece. Consider art forms or works of art that served as inspiration for someone or some group important in history, and then select one to share with the class.
Come together as a class to discuss the presentations. What surprised you about the way art and history work together? Which presentations surprised you the most? Why?
