of one of the artists listed on the following page. The sketch will be a Google Slides presentation accompanied

complete this assignment (textbook counts as an additional source not a part of the three).

Google Slides presentation:

1. 15 slides long
2. MLA Works Cited slide at the end (for total of 16 slides) [You must include citations for the pictures]
3. Should read like a wikipedia page (summary of their life, early-life, mid-life, late years, legacy)
