Now that we have our blog set up and ready to go, you will be introducing your artist to the other members of the group. You will write a few lines about your artist in the first person. The guidelines are:1. Include a salutation (say ‘Hello’ in the voice of your person). Could be in their native language or in their own personal style.
2. Let us all know what they are known for (What kind of art do they make? What is their most famous accomplishment?).
3. List two interesting facts about them (Tell us two things that you find interesting about them).
Here is an example for my artist of choice Henri Matisse
Bonjour mon ami! My name is Henri Matisse. I am an artist of many different genres but am best known for my paintings and paper cut-outs. I was initially labeled as a ‘fauvist’ (meaning : wild beast) but during the WWII era, my art was considered ‘degenerative’ by the invading Nazis and I was not allowed to show my work. Ms. Andreadis has a copy of my painting Large Red Interior (1948) in her kitchen. She is so tres’ magnifique! (Here is Ms. Andreadis at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, July 2007 seeing the original Matisse painting.)
Introduction is due by 11:59pm Friday, February 10, 2012.
