Concentrate especially upon: L.L. FitzGerald?s, Doc Snyder's House; Carl Schaefer?s, Ontario Farmhouse; David Milne?s, Ollie Matson's House Is Just a Square Red Cloud.

(Tabs will provide you with information on the theme, composition, interpretation and the artist.)

A downloadable Presentation that you can add to or manipulate will also help share these images in your classroom.

  • Discuss the idea of home in the above three works. Which house would you like to live in? What are the features of your ideal home?
