artist-research-paper-3

Choose one artist from the text chapter 1-10. Research the background of your chosen artist and describe their training, inspirations, working methods, etc. This person will have critical reviews concerning their work. Cite these writings in your essay informally. Finally, choose two pieces from your chosen artist and write about them in detail. Discuss materials, concept, and process, as well as the elements of art and the principles of design found in their work.

A satisfactory peer review will peer reviews will require you to (1) post your rough draft earlyand (2) post your review, in a timely fashion (in advance of the peer review due date). Reviews – ones that offer helpful advice and offering of suggestions, but may not go into as much depth in every instance; your comments will tend to be briefer, with some simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Limit the number of errors in punctuation, grammar, and mechanics, except when this may interfere with clarity.

Use the grading rubric list for categorial organization for your reviews.
