  14. Choose one of the following perspectives for the piece you will create:1. Direct historical reference – you are referencing someone’s holocaust/WWII experience, or a setting/scene, or an emotion. Examples: a landscape of a Jewish ghetto or some other setting; a person or people (holocaust prisoner, soldier, child, trains, death march, etc); a non-literal representation of an emotion experienced by victims/survivors (grief, shock, illness, loss, death)2. Degenerate Art – create an artwork “in the style of” one of the Degenerate Artists censored by Hitler. 3. Direct present day reference – you are referencing a personal, present-day experience of hate, prejudice, war, or loss. This doesn’t have to be YOUR actual experience but can be that of a family member or friend – something that affected you strongly.
