I find so many inspirational artists online- in this post I'll share a few of the ones I've found recently. In our daily online exploration, we are inundated with images and works from a seemingly endless stream of artists. It is important to slow down and appreciate them sometimes.
An idea for a class activity:
Have students research and explore art sites online and make a list of 10 artists that inspire them. Using curriculum/project-specific criteria, have them narrow down their list to the 3 most inspirational and course-relevant artists. Have them prepare a brief slide show presentation with examples of the artists' work, a bio and 1 example of the application of the critical analysis process to analyze 1 work from each of their chosen artists.
Here are 3 that I choose:
Dan McCarthy: http://www.danmccarthy.org
Beth Zaiken: http://www.bethzaiken.com/projects.html
Song Kang: http://www.song-kang.com
Enjoy!
