MASTER a MASTER ARTIST
Throughout the ages we have seen master artists come and go, each leaving
important artwork behind. As we take a look at some of these examples, it will be
your job as an art student to pick a master artist, research the artist, write a critical
analysis of the work and then create an artwork loosely based on that artist.
The goal is not to replicate but imitate! You can choose to use the style, the
medium, the subject matter, the design, the technique, and/or more.
