Art Deco Through the Eyes of an Illustrator  | Wednesday, July 8, 2026 | 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

The Citadelle Art Museum presents this PD opportunity for Texas K-12 teachers. The era between WWI and WWII saw vast changes in America and Europe. From the Pandemic of 1920, to the party that was "The Roaring Twenties", to innovations in construction such as reinforced concrete, and mass-produced aluminum, and then the Great Depression, America saw a transformation that allowed form to follow function, in even the most modest lives. Modernizations in production increased, allowing everyone to enjoy amazing architecture, furnishings, fashion, and all forms of Art.

At The Citadelle Art Museum, we are fortunate to have 3 works by one of the greats of Illustration during the Art Deco period, J.C. Leyendecker, as well as one painting by his mentee (and subsequent master of American Illustration), Norman Rockwell. This PD opportunity will focus on how Art became more than just Art, becoming a driver for new consumerism, communication, and influence in America.
