    1. You need a list of 20 artists you feel strongly about (10 you like and 10 you don't). Then for 3 of these artists you will need 1) an artist's statement (link will work) & at least one image of his/ her work 2) what you feel this artist's work is about 3) a paragraph on why you feel so strongly about the artist/ the work.

    2. This is different from your homework on MARK-MAKING that is due before class tomorrow. That homework you will need to post to the blog as well.
