Web Quest- Artist of your choice!  

Scenario: You have been chosen to curate a museum exhibit for a famous artist (of your choice).  This exhibit will have a CD-ROM available (which you will design using PowerPoint®) and an on-line exhibit of your design (using FrontPage®, Dreamweaver, or Seamonkey Composer).  Use the following Internet resources to find at least five works for your presentation and provide links on your "Virtual" exhibit page to more images.  You will also design a student hands-on project for children viewing the exhibit at the museum (you will make a sample project inspired by the artist selected)

1. Select your artist. You will receive a BONUS for selecting a "Living Artist" - but you must write e-mail to use images. Lesson requirements. (Alternate lesson - Shoe Box Gallery)
   
   
2. Begin searching using the following sites:

• Artcyclopedia Search by artist, art style or movement, medium, and subject. Quality site with links to other sites on the Web about your selected topic.
