Artist Research - 6th Grade English: Artist Research Spring 2022-23

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture,
society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
~ John F. Kennedy

Essential Question: Why does art matter?

YOUR TASK:

As a scholarly researcher, you will be exploring the world of art through the work on one artist of your choosing. You will explore the artist, their work, and and its influence or impact. You will need to cite evidence from published sources. You will gather notes in a graphic organizer (citing your sources). Then, you will create a "Zen PowerPoint" to share what you have learned with your peers.

Pro Tip! Choose an artist that interests you and is well-established with a recognized body of work. This will ensure that you enjoy reading about the artist and that you will have success locating credible, published information.
