Art Project
Here is the most important part: Why was your artist important? Why do they matter? Why did their art matter? What impact did they have on the world of art? This is a much more research intensive question than just a quick biography.
- Choose an artist.
- Choose one of their works for us to print out.
- Create your OWN work of art either duplicating a painting of your artist, or creating a new painting in the style of your artist. You may use paint, pastel, pencil crayon, or a medium of your choosing.
- Make a small poster presentation of your artist (one bristol board is good).
On the bristol board, include:
--- The artists name in large letters.
--- The country they worked in
--- The years they were alive
--- The style or styles of art they worked in.
--- One paragraph bio about the artist.
--- Maybe a famous quote or two of theirs, if possible.
We will display the presentations in the gym
You will stand beside your presentation.
Classes will come and tour our gallery.
