Witches in Art and Pop Culture
Witches have long been a part of art history, often appearing in medieval paintings and 16th-century woodcuts as symbols of mystery, power, and fear. In the 1700s, Spanish artist Francisco Goya famously portrayed eerie supernatural scenes in works like Witches’ Sabbath, reflecting society’s unease with the unknown.
Over time, the image of the witch evolved — from scary to stylish, from villain to misunderstood heroine. In today’s pop culture, characters like Elphaba from Wicked flip the script. With her bold green skin, tall black hat, and powerful story of courage and difference, she’s become a symbol of strength and individuality. Bringing her into the art room gives students a chance to explore visual storytelling through iconic characters.
