Art 1 Final: Artist Research Project and Ceiling Tile Design

For your final, you and/or a partner are going to pick a famous artist from the list (see last
page).

Everyone’s artist will be different so be sure to tell me who your artist is once you make
your choice and he/she will be ‘reserved’. **Note** If there is a group or individual that has
chosen the same artist, then a random lottery will be conducted to see who ‘wins’ the artist.

Individually or with a partner, you will be creating a powerpoint/google slide with

information about your artist. In addition, you will also be painting a ceiling tile for display
in room 136 which expresses the style and subject matter of your chosen artist.

1. Google slide/Presentation 🡪 Complete individually OR if with partner, and e-mail to

Mrs. Puckett
2. Artwork 🡪 Each individual student must create and submit their own artwork

#1 Google slide- Your group will create a powerpoint presentation about your artist. In the
presentation, it must include the following information. Text should be paraphrased, not
copied/pasted, and in bullet point format if applicable.

1. The name of your artist and an introductory slide to your presentation

2. At least 8 images of the artist’s artwork along with the title, date, and medium. (One
artwork along with its information per slide.) Image should be large enough to fill up a
large portion of the slide.
3. Date/place of birth, and date of death (or, if artist is still alive just put ‘present’)
4. A portrait or self portrait of artist
5. 5 interesting facts about your artist--- Must be interesting
6. Answer the questions.
* What media did he/she use?
* What general subject matter interested your artist?
* What drives or motivates your artist to create art?
* What time period and/or art movement is your artist associated with? Explain
its characteristics...
* What other important historical or cultural events were happening at the time
your artist was creating art?
 7. Each person’s individual personal opinion about the artist and his/her artwork (at least
50 words for each opinion).
8. Works cited: make sure you include your sources on the last slide.

Be prepared to present the slideshow individually/with your partner and your ceiling tile
artwork to the class. Also, be prepared to express your personal opinions about your artist and
his/her work. Presentation should be no more than 7 minutes long. 5 minutes is ideal.

#2 Ceiling Tile Artwork- Each group member will create a painting on a ceiling tile based on
the style, subject, and/or technique of your chosen artist. NO COPIES! Partners can
brainstorm ideas together but each student must come up with and create their own
original design idea. Ceiling tile will be completed using acrylic paint. Be prepared to explain
how your ceiling tile artwork reflects the style of your chosen artists’ works during your
presentation. Please refer to the Style powerpoint on canvas for additional information.
