1) DUE January 11th: In your SB, briefly investigate at least THREE Abstract Expressionist painters with the goal of presenting ONE as an AWARENESS post (as Artist Spotlight #8) on your blog. PLEASE NOTE:
- At least one of the three researched artists must be BEYOND those covered in the Power Point presentation (see the list below)
- After doing the preliminary research, indicate your interest level in each artist by numbering your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choices.
- NOTE: In order to avoid duplication, artists will be assigned in a specific (maybe random) manner (TBD). Therefore, it is in your best interest to take the opportunity to find three artists who you will be happy to research!
- Just as you did for your Old Master, this is an opportunity to get to know about the artist's life, work, and process.
- USE this research to inspire YOUR and YOUR CLASSMATES' painting process.
- Once posted, classmates will be assigned an artist(s) to investigate using the standard sketchbook "Artist Spotlight format," including answers to the questions you have asked.
- SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS FOR THE AWARENESS POST CAN BE FOUND HERE.
