Here are two model papers from last year:
You should read these papers to understand where this process is going.
Step 1: I have set up hyperlinks for about 50 artists. Spend the next hour or so choosing an artist that you would like to focus for the next few weeks. (You will want to have a back-up choice or two for various reasons.) I know a bit about each of these artists and have an idea of what you will face if you choose to research any of them. I’ll be around to answer questions. Enjoy.
For some of these artists, it is just as easy to do an image search.

White Cube also has a good list of contemporary artists.
So does this PBS site.
I chose these artists because they should be easy enough to find research on but have not been written on endlessly. If you have an artist in mind, I’d be happy to add it to the list.
Step 2: Post a Comment on which artist you want and why (brief). You can, of course, pick someone that is not on the list. I would also like you to hyperlink the title of an image that you like from the artist, so a quick mini-lesson:
This is due at 8:00 a.m. on Wed. Feb. 4th. Artists are given on a first-post basis. Only two people per artist.
Kevin Ta 5 said...Alright, here’s my quick mini lesson on how to hyperlink in comment boxes. Say you want to make a link like this. All you have to do is type the following into the comment box:
<"a href=http://www.google.com">"this"<"/a">
and get rid of the quotation marks. When you publish it, it will look like:
this
Replace the URL (making sure you have the http:// part) and the “this” and it’s as simple as that. Remember that the Preview button is your friend. Hope that helps.

My artist i chose was Banksy and i choose him because i just find his art funny, yet i like how most of his images portray some kind of message. I think i would enjoy doing a research paper on him
I would also like to do Banksy, because his images give the public attention to look at drawings aesthetically. There's no such thing as good publicity sticks out to me because it gives me a different meaning in looking at his art work in being forward like this one and this one
if you ment two people per class per artist, i would like to do Banksy because his work seemed very interesting to me and i find it humerous.

I choose to write my paper on Shepard Fairey and his works of art. I noticed him as soon as I looked it up on Google and the name brand OBEY came up.

He is also very comedic with his art. drop sneakers not bombs
