In this lesson instructors and students will explore the international origins of Art Deco through a PowerPoint and group activities that offer some examples of how various locations have adapted the Art Deco architectural style. As some students have connections to other countries, it may be of interest to them to learn more about international Art Deco connections and the global cultural influences that are evident in much of the design of the Art Deco style.
