Remember this!

In the first 1-10 hours of learning something new, you will want to give up more than once a minute. Hang in there!! Give yourself 50-100 hours.. and not only will you get it, you’ll realize you can’t wait to do it again!!

Pop Art Final

Write a 2 page (full pages minimally with no additional images) double spaced paper, 12 point type, on an artist from the Pop Art movement.  Please include an additional works cited page as well.  Your artist  must be approved by Mr. P   before you begin

Provide biographical information as well as their training, most significant accomplishments and what they are best known for.  Discuss the artist's significance in the art world and the process of how they developed their work.  This is not an opinion piece so please focus on facts first.

Create a full color 9 x 12  image that is NOT a replica of their work but DOES represent the subject matter and stylistic qualities of their work.  So for example, if you chose Jim Dine (there is an excellent book in the LMC for reference) look at the colors he is best known for using as well as subjects and the way he approached using paint in those pieces.  You could put your own spin on that as long as it is connected in some way.

Presentations during the exam block will be brief but should present to the class as though no one has any prior knowledge of the artists.  You do not have to read the paper but give a well thought through synopsis along with the image. You will likely be asked some basic questions as well so make sure you know your topic. (start with being certain how to pronounce your artist’s name)   This project counts for 20% of your grade!
Have fun  and do your best work! 

Please be sure not to plagiarize in any way as it will result in a zero!!  Please be careful not to cut and paste or re-word from any web site or book. 
Be at your table prepared for your presentation before the bell rings. (if you are printing your paper in the LMC before the bell and you arrive after the bell, you lose your slot to present so get all work done and printed ahead of time.)   Late work or emailed papers will not be accepted
I am happy to read first drafts and give feedback.
