| KNOW THE ARTIST: FACT-FINDING SHEET
These are the minimum requirements for a "C" or better
- Name of the Artist (of course!)
- Birth- year and death- year (month and day optional…but maybe
after all of this work you will want to celebrate your artist's
birthday!)
- Find a brief biography (maybe 150 to 200 words). Save into your Art
Tech Folder--and save the URL (you must have the Web address)
- Find a biography with more information for those who wish to learn
more. Save into your Art Tech folder and save the URL. You will only
put a link to this longer biography from your web page--but may
include it on your Hypermedia (PowerPoint®).
- Find a photograph or portrait (even a portrait by another artist!)--This
will be used on the Web page, PowerPoint® and poster.
- Select a minimum of five works by this artist for your
"Museum" exhibit and "Virtual Museum".
Remember--YOU MUST HAVE THE URL FOR THESE IMAGES (The Web address) and
the facts about the works (when created, what medium, how large,
etc.).
- Know what style of works your artist created. Are you able to
describe at least one of the works in detail so others are also able
to understand? What media did he/she use? What general subject matter
interested your artist?
- Find at least five Web sites with more information for your artist.
Save these links into a Word Document as "Name of artist -
links". These will be put on Web page and on PowerPoint
- Create a timeline with a minimum of five events from your artist's
life and a minimum of five world events and/or art related events.
Artists are greatly effected by what is going on in the world around
them. Placing the artist somewhere in time is crucial to understanding
the artist's work. History and art go hand-in-hand. Your timeline will
be a list in sequence by year. Merge the artist's life with the world
events.
- BONUS: Find music relating to the time period
of your chosen artist.
