This activity we will be learning about the artist. Search the web for his works of art and who he is. What made him tick?

Tasks;

Discuss this artist with the class.

Do you consider him an artist or do you think he is crazy.

Find his biography and make a summery.

Is a movie a piece of artwork.

After you have completed this give an oral presentation on your total class findings of what to consider an artist or a hack. If the class doesn’t consider him an artist what disqualified him? After the class has chosen how you chose an artist have you as the teacher find a person who defies these rules and challenge them to a classroom controlled argument.
