Quest- Artist of your choice!
Scenario: You
have been chosen to curate a museum exhibit for a famous artist (of your
choice). This exhibit will have a CD-ROM available (which you will
design using PowerPoint®) and an on-line exhibit of your design (using
FrontPage®). Use the following Internet resources to find at least
five works for your presentation and provide links on your
"Virtual" exhibit page to more images. You will also
design a student hands-on project for children viewing the exhibit at the
museum (you will make a sample project inspired by the artist selected)
- Select your artist.
You will receive
a BONUS for selecting a "Living Artist" - but you must write
e-mail to use images. Lesson requirements.
(See Jim McNeill page as example for living
artist) Alternate lesson - Shoe Box Gallery.
