Task - Create a Smartboard presentation that tells about the life of your selected painter/artist. Please include the following information:

  • Tell when your artist was born and when your artist died.
  • Describe your artist's childhood.
  • Tell what influenced your artist to become a painter or sculptor.
  • Tell about some of your artist's famous artworks by selecting two pieces of art by your painter/artist to compare and contrast.

Information Seeking Strategies - Please use the websites provided by me, an encyclopedia, and the school reference databases.

Locate and Access - Use our reference databases (particularly Kidsinfobit) to obtain information about a famous painter/artist.  Also use the World Book Encyclopedia or the New Book of Knowledge Encyclopedia. Both encyclopedias are located behind the check-out desk.

Don't forget our other school reference databases (Infotrac Jr., Biography Resource Center, Bigchalk E-Library, and Grolier On-Line).

Use Information - Read and take notes from all sources. Make sure you write down when and where you obtained your information. You will be creating a bibliography. Click here to learn how to create a bibliography.
