Contemporary Canadian artist project


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.
