Step One:

Choose one artist from the list below:

Vincent Van Gogh	Paul Cezanne	Paul Gauguin
Henri Matisse	Georges Seurat	Georges Braque
Pablo Picasso	Claude Monet	Wassily Kandinsky
Salvidor Dali	Jackson Pollack	Georgia O’Keeffe

Step two:

You must research three aspects of the Artist’s life and work:

2) Three major works by the artist with additional details such as where they are currently located or public reaction when they were first shown.

3) Significance or impact the artists work had in the art world at the time and make connections to current practices in art. For example, what movement did the artist embrace? Can we see this artist’s influence in other artist’s work? Why is their art important?

All research notes must be recorded in your worksheet and handed in with your foldable. Be sure to print your pictures during lab time (they can be in colour or black and white).
