Whether you choose Option 1 or 2, print and bring the Museum Handout (posted separately), (you may print pages 1-7 to save paper.)

you see in the piece. Choose the most relevant Mode of Analysis (found in Handout) to begin relevant research, using included
information about the artist/artwork. Supplement your museum research with additional sources that further explain the medium and
style of art in which they create, and explain the piece- How did the artist develop this style and this particular piece? Why did/do they do
the kind of artwork they do? Were they influenced by other artists? Were they inspired or driven by other things happening &R their life, or

argument/thesis in at least 3 paragraphs. Refer to artwork(s) the artist made to explain your reasoning. **
