Empathy
Art is a reflection of life
This unit of instruction was created by Allison Enchanove for implementation in a middle school art curriculum. However, its content and activities can easily be applied to a high school art class. The lessons are designed to give student the opportunity to identify what empathy is, how it can be seen in art, and express their understandings through the creation of an artwork. The essential questions that are answered through this unit are *Does art reflect empathy? * Can empathy be fostered through visual images? * Does empathy move us to action? * What triggers empathy in art?

Yasumasa Morimura Widely known as the artist who transforms himself into the Mona Lisa and movie actresses, Yasumasa Morimura has won international acclaim for his unique and avant-garde expression of 'beauty'. Since 1985, his focus has been his 'self-portrait series', consisting of unique reconstructions of art masterpieces in which the subject's face is substituted with that of Morimura himself. Through careful study and analysis of the themes, artists, and historical background of these works, Morimura searches out their raison d'etre and transforms them according to his own interpretations. His ability to deconstruct, subvert and simultaneously create an homage is what enables his work to continually defy categorization.
