2010 Art III Expressive Portrait Final

One Twentieth century figure sculptor is Robert Arneson, whose work is part of National portrait Gallery and at the Hirshorn Museum.

Do a little research on this artist to produce a short art history report. Your task is to research the artist, recording not only the artist’s most famous artwork, but also about his biographic timeline – birth, death, and a few other life or historical events for a timeline of your artist’s life, and a basic biography about his personality that is not covered by the timeline.

You are required to create a report of the artist and his work by designing and producing a neatly wrapped “un-birthday” present for the artist. Decorate a box in the style of your artist. “Think outside the box” by using the artist’s name or signature as decoration on your wrapping paper and selecting a present that would be appropriate to give your artist. Write neatly on a card the name of your artist and why the present would be appropriate for it to your artist. (please – no art supplies or tools) Extra’s such as birthday cards, party hats, decorations or refreshments are welcomed but not mandatory. The more effort, time and research, the more points you earn. Complete the box below and be ready to submit your “gift’ during the final exam period - Friday June 18.
