Select an artist from the list below.  Your task is to create a spread that reflects GENUINE research about this artist.  Do NOT just spit back information you see on a website!!

Be sure to research the artist well.  Choose images that truly represent the artist’s trademark style.  Make sure to dig a little bit and don't always use the initial pictures that pop up on Google.

Make notes about the artist; write your personal response to the artwork; teach the viewer about the specific style of the artist.  Make some sketches, include a print-out, be creative.  Don't include random information about where the artist grew up, or anything that doesn't really pertain to their work.
