AP Art: Art History Research Project

We will begin our artist research project this week-each student has been assigned two artists that reflect their work in some way.  Create a presentation with: 

• 1 cover page-featuring the artist's image along with their name and yours
• 10 short bullet-ed biography notes of interest with sources 
• 20 full size images of their work, each on it's own page

Below is the master list of artists.  We will share the presentations next week and have a short visual and written assessment after we have reviewed them all.

AP Art: Art History Research Project

In AP Art each student was given two artists to research and present to the class (the master list is below).  Next Wednesday and Thursday we'll have our written and visual test on the artists and Friday your reaction pieces will be due.  The reaction pieces shouldn't be done in the style of the artists but rather inspired by something in the artwork whether it's a technique, color palette, approach, or aesthetic feeling.
