The Weekly Artist Research Project (WARP)
Posted on March 17, 2014
This term we will be building a class blog by combining weekly research on a particular movement and artist.
- Every FRIDAY you will be provided with an artist to research

- An abbreviated biography of the artist, including any interesting facts
- Information about the movement, style and subject matter in which the artist worked
- 1 image of the artist themselves, and 5 (no more than 10) images of important works by that artist including; names, dates, and size of work
- Describing the media and technique used by the artist, and any influences/inspiration for creating the work

- Bibliography including and links or videos
STEPS 1-6 must be organized, edited and posted to the appropriate content folder on the class blog EVERY Friday.
