144Artists-1.pdfChoose one artist and one of their most famous artworks.
You will create a one-page layout that clearly shows your research and your own thinking. Use good paper and color pencils only.
Your page must include:
Artist’s Name
Art Movement the artist is connected to
Description of what is happening in the artwork:
SEE: Describe what you notice. What objects, colors, textures, or details stand out? What’s in the background? Did you discover anything surprising when you looked more closely?
THINK: What thoughts or interpretations come up for you? Does it connect to your own life or artwork in any way?
WONDER: What questions do you have about the artist’s choices, techniques, or meaning? How might this artwork influence your own?
Example for SEE:
“I see a deep blue sky that makes the bright orange sun stand out as the emphasis of the painting because the artist used complementary colors (blue and orange), which creates strong contrast."
3) BEFORE you begin your one-pager, plan your layout/composition in a thumbnail sketch
Where will your title go?
The artwork?
Your see/think/wonder?
What other things can you add to make your one-pager more interesting?
Brainstorm your layout ideas through a small sketch to see which will be the best set-up for your final work.
Below is an organizer to help you gather your ideas.

Use color schemes (warm, cool, complementary...) to create an emphasis.
Add value to fill in empty spaces.
