Canadian artists
Pick a contemporary Canadian artist whose work you like –go
to the site http://www.artists4kids.com/ for
examples- then do additional research-wikipedia, Canadian Encyclopedia, the
artist’s own website… You should have
at least three sites you have used-and have them in your bibliography-keep
everything in a word document.
Do an interview with your artist…
Where were you born etc.?
Where did you grow up?
Why did you become an artist?
What influences your art?
What kind of art do you like to do?
Do a piece of your own art in the style of this artist.
