Romeo and Juliet Art Gallery Project

Romeo and Juliet Art Gallery Project

Each student will bring in a picture (preferably in color) relative to Romeo and Juliet and our essential questions. It will be due the next time that your block has class.

It may be printed from the internet. It may be of Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey from the 1968 film adaptation; it may be of Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes from the 1997 film adaptation; it may be of Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn performing the ballet Romeo and Juliet; it may be of Ruth Ann Swenson and Placido Domingo singing the opera Roméo et Juliette; it can a copy of John Pettie’s The Friar and Juliet.

It may be a snapshot of a school production of Romeo and Juliet. It may be a photograph of you dressed up as an Elizabethan costume. It may be your own personal artwork depicting a scene in the play. It may be a picture of Madame Alexander Romeo and Juliet dolls. It may be a picture of Barbie and Ken dressed up as Romeo and Juliet.

The picture must be appropriate for the school setting. Please put your name and block on the back of the picture.

We will use the pictures to decorate our classroom, to make it festive and to remind us of our theme topic and our essential questions, which are posted on the bulletin board in our room.
