With your partner you have been assigned a group of artists. From that group you may choose an artist to research.

For example, group #1 will use the link: 1. American Artists, and so on... Explore some different artists and then choose three artists whose work you think is interesting and that you would like to know more about. Together with your partner in the computer lab, you will make a final decision.

Choose carefully - you both must be able to find images, information about the art and the artist's life. The artist MUST be an artist whose work hangs in museums and/or galleries, and not a commercial artist or designer.

You may only use these links to make your choice!
