Select an artist from the list below. Your task is to create a spread that reflects genuine research about this artist. Do not just list things you read on the website.
Be sure to research the artist well. Choose images that truly represent the artists trademark style. Make sure to dig a little bit and don't always use the pictures that pop up first on a google search.
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, be creative. Only include information about the artists style and work.

Writing Prompt #1:
2015
What does it mean to you? A lot of you are seniors and are graduating this year, what thoughts, feelings, goals, dreams are you thinking about? Illustrate them in your Art Journal.
See Google Classroom for Deadlines
Writing Prompt #2:
Routines
Contemporary life is hectic, and keeping up with the household chores, the responsibilities of school and work, practices, the social networks, text messages and phone calls can quickly bury you under a pile of to-dos and must-dos. Take time to reflect on the organization and structure of your life. Think about everything from your mundane, daily rituals to your big special hopes and dreams.

Writing Prompt #3
My Sanctuary
Where do you go when the world becomes too much or when you need to be by yourself? We all need a place to go where we can get away for a while and reconnect with ourselves. We need a cave, an island getaway or a mountaintop retreat where we can go to gain some perspective. Sometimes these are literal caves, islands and mountains, but very often they are closer than that - the studio, the gym, the garage or the library. What is your sanctuary? Where is that place of solitude and comfort for you? What gets in your way of being there? If you do not have a actual sanctuary, where would it be? Where would you like to go?
