Mona Lisa. . . SMILES?!

In Art I, we are studying art of the Italian High Renaissance. We’ve discussed how da Vinci’s Mona Lisa,, besides being the most famous painting in the world,, is also among the most parodied.

Art I students, here’s your extra-credit opportunity! In the comment box below, post your favorite Mona Lisa parody. Give the title and artist, or the website, so that I can look it up. To receive credit you must explain why this is your favorite, because there are so many to choose from! The caveat: you cannot post one that has already been posted.

Anyone is welcome to post. . . extra credit notwithstanding!!

Here are a few favorites of mine…
