The Utopian Avant Garde at Poster House
Mr. Gordon’s 12th grade history class and Ms. Spencer’s 10th grade digital art class partnered up to attend the exhibit “The Utopian Avant Garde: Soviet Film Posters of the 1920’s” at the Poster House Museum in Chelsea. Mr. Gordon’s class recently finished reading Orlando Figes’ book The Whisperers about private life in Stalin’s Russia, while Ms. Spencer’s class has been learning about the artist Shepard Fairey, who was influenced by revolutionary poster art from that era. The students enjoyed viewing the thought-provoking art throughout Poster House.
