A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HOPPER:
Your printed Activity Guide shows some mixed-up boats and houses from Hopper's paintings. Scroll down to see the full pictures:
This painting by Edward Hopper is called "Ground Swell." (This painting can be seen at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.) While the painting might look bright and cheery, there are elements in it that may hint at impending danger. (See the link to the National Gallery's description of this painting for more details.) Edward painted this in 1939, when he was 57 years old, right as World War II broke out in Europe.
This painting is called "The Long Leg" and it depicts a sailboat near the Long Point Light at Provincetown, Massachusetts. Hopper painted this when he was 53 years old. (You may see this painting in real life at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.)
