Your exhibition must include art, which was discussed in at least three of the units from this course and must include at least 5 artists (you may also include artists we did not discussed in this course). The exhibition should have a theme or idea that ties it together.

FORMAT:

Please write a 500-750 words introduction to your exhibition. Discuss the themes the exhibition addresses, which historical period or periods it covers and which artists are included. Please be sure to draw on the reading and discussions from at least three units of this course. You must include an image of at least one artwork to represent each artist, which is included in your exhibition. You must also include the title of your exhibition and at least a 2 to 3 sentence biography of each artist. You may want to look at various museum websites and press releases for their exhibits to get an idea of how to approach this assignment.
