Students must research a contemporary artist to use as the model for their painting. This artist must be relevant, still making art, and interest you in either their style and/or subject matter. Students need to explore an artist through writing and drawing in their sketchbooks. This includes one page of informal research (bullet points are fine) and 4 sketches. The research should be a mini biography explaining their background, artistic inspiration, current exhibitions, and any other relevant information. Your sketches should resemble the artist either through their subject matter or their style. Some intriguing artists to consider may be:
Paul Andrus
Dion Archibold
Banksy
Janet Fish
Anselm Keifer
Raquel Martins
Rebecca Silus
Michael Sprouse
Ms. Valdes,do our sketches have to be the things that the artist drew?
ReplyDeleteHi Ema,
DeleteYou have a couple options. You can either choose to mimic the artist's style or subject matter. If you copy the artist's style then you do your own picture but in the way they do their work. If you copy their subject matter then you would do their picture but in your own style. Hope that helps!
