2. Document the #, heading, and credit line 
3. Review all provided resources - take notes 
4. Answer the questions completely and with specificity; complete sentences should reveal the question (write legibly or type/print)

FIRST: Review this background information about Abstract Expressionism

THEN: Watch the video below (which is also embedded in the above resource, btw)
​NEXT: Find TWO Abstract Expressionist painters, beyond Franz Kline, to investigate. You may want to choose from the artists who you looked at while preparing for the D.C. field trip BUT there are many others (see the resources below for ideas)...Make sure to:
  • Select artists who are considered important in the field AND who fall into the time frame of the original Abstract Expressionists (make sure that your artists are Abstract Expressionists!)
  • Look for artists whose style you particularly admire so you can draw specific inspiration as you begin to paint.
THEN: After investigating these two artists and documenting your work in your sketchbook (DUE with SB Q2 on Jan. 13th), choose ONE to present on your blog (DUE January 20th). 


WHY IS AB EX SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT?


Include in the blog post:
1) Name/dates
2) An image with credit line
3) Basic facts/background - biographical, stylistic, contextual, etc.
4) A helpful resource, which supplements the prior info. (video, website, article, etc.)
​5) Three questions that, when answered, would allow for review of the artist's place in art history and their specific link to Abstract Expressionism.
