Anything else?
- General information usually is who, what, when, where, and how long for an artist.
- Things to research – love(s) of the artist’s life, what was life like when he or she painted
- Most Famous work is not always your favorite. Do some research. Most of the time, the image on
a wiki page is usually the most famous work.
- An artist “style” is how and what he or she paints most.
- A personal response should include imagery from the artist, and should be both verbal and visual.
- A connection page should include how you will use the artist research in your own work. You can
include planning thumbnails for this artist has influenced you. You will be creating a piece based
on your research, so start thinking.
