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.
