Step 1

  • Watch an artist video from the ART 21 website. 
  • Go to link below and select a video from the list of artists. 

Step 2

  • Post a link to the video on your blog. 
  • Include name of artist. 
  • Include two (2) words/phrases that describe the artist's work. 
    • These descriptive words reflect your perception of the work. There are no right/wrong answers. 
      • For example, you may respond with "social commentary" and "sadness". 
    • Carefully consider the meaning of the work. 
    • I suggest watching the video more than once and take notes as you watch. 

Step 3

  • At least two (2) images of the artist's work - do not use the same artwork - use two different artworks. You will have to search the internet for this info. 
  • Include a source link for each image. 
  • For each image, select at least one (1) observation related to elements and principles of art and design. Review elements and principles at link below.
