Instructions:  
Create a web page or poster documenting the historical details of either:
a) a significant artist or 
b) a stylistic movement or period.
If you choose an artist, you should know the movement  and style for the artist . 
If you choose a movement, you should know some of the important artists that represent the works in the movement. Many web sites refer to one or the other: artists or movements / periods, but do not connect the two. Be sure to view the information on the Canadian Artists.  Follow the assignment outline given in class to complete the project and meet the performance requirements. If you need to use a search engine, go to the main page of Sargent Park and get to the Search Engine page.

Know which art period / movement your artist choice represents. Make sure you double check all words for spelling and copying process.
