1. Complete and hand in nine artist profiles using the form provided on the website.
Bear in mind, that "less is NOT better" when completing these profiles. Be explicit and very complete in your research summaries. You will be graded on how through you are in your research and completion of these respective profiles. You will need to read, take notes, and summarize the information for each profile. If you find it difficult to find information on any phase of this course, rely on Compton's Topic Tree- The Arts, to assist you.

Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Grant Wood

All essays are to be two pages minimum (double spaced, typed in Times New Roman font 12 point size). Less than two pages will result in a substantial reduction in grade. Remember to use the questions: Who, What, Where, Why, and How to assist you in completing each report. Do not cut and paste the information into your paper. It must be original (rephrasing is acceptable) or it will be considered plagiarism and you will be required to completely redo the paper.

Resources: You may use Compton's Excursions (located on the computers), the Internet (following the links provided or search using Google), and Art History books which are available on request from the instructor.

8. Final Test:
On the final test you will be asked to tell which area of art (painting, sculpture, etc.) the artist is best known for, name one of the major works, tell which country they are from, and whether they lived before or during the 20th century, for each of the artists you wrote a profile or essay about. You may study your notes before the final but not use those notes on the test.
