Student Presentation Guidelines

Each week the class will be assigned to read an interview or article about an artist from the list below. In addition, one student will become and expert on the artist of the week, and give a minimum 15-minute presentation about the artist's work to the class. The presentation should consist of a short biography, an in-depth discussion of the artist's work including the artist's peers and influences, and a critical analysis of at least three key artworks by the artist. You must present at least ten images, and your research must be original (not copied from Wikipedia, etc.) Presentations will begin the third week of class. Select an artist from the list below, and write both your name and the artist's name in the comments section of this post to claim an artist. Each student must claim an artist by Week 2.

Everyone should read the interviews below before the presentation.
