This document provides information about the American painter Edward Hopper and instructions for an art activity inspired by his style. It discusses several of Hopper's paintings like "House by the Railroad" and "Night Hawks" and how he used techniques like realistic imagery, abstract expressionism, dramatic lighting and claustrophobic spaces to portray themes of loneliness and hidden meanings. Students are asked to create their own painting in Hopper's style by considering mood, color, lighting and a memory or favorite place, and reviewing each other's work afterwards.
