 For this assignment I would like you to research a famous artist of your
choice and then create a GLOG. I have given you a list of some - but you are not
limited by that list.

Pablo Picasso Vincent Van Gogh Degas

Mary Cassatt Frida Kahlo Christo

Ansel Adams Georgia O’Keefe Andrew Wyeth

Paul Cezanne Leonardo DiVinci Claude Monet

Wassily Kandinsky Paul Klee Joan Miro
Piet Mondrian Edvard Munch Rembrandt

Henri Rousseau Georges Seurat Horace Pippin

Romare Bearden Faith Ringgold Andy Wharhol

Use a search engine such as “google” – and search for an artist of your choice

“Dali + biography + life + images”

Biography will include dates and place of birth and death, significant events in the artist's life
(e.g., schooling, friends, economic situation, health), social and political events (e.g., war,
scientific and geographic discoveries, attitude of culture), and a brief critique of artist's artistic
influences and stylistic growth
The page will contain pertinent information about the artist using interactive media.

Glog should include:

1. Short biography of a famous artist including a description of his/her art style.

2. Timeline of important events during the artist’s life

3. Picture of the artist (can be a self portrait)

4. At least one “example” of artist's works.

5. Choose one of the following to add to your Glog of your book:

 A letter from you in 2005 to the artist in their own time.

 An interesting quote by or about the artist.
 A letter TO you from the artist, referencing their art career and the time they lived.

Your master artist Glog should contain details based on the artist’s style, for example the
background of the page could be made from prints by the artist.

You can create and add a business card, podcast,

video, photograph, poster, voicestream, wordcloud,
animated avatar… anything you can think of to add
to your Glogster. BE CREATIVE.

Due 11/2/10
Once you have created your Glog, then save the link in the Notes field.
