1. On ONE google doc/printed page:
1. Birth, birth place and (if applicable) death
2. Period of art this artist is associated with and a definition of that art period (ie: impressionism, cubism, etc), particularly as it connects to the social-political-historical context
3. Top 5 key events in their life, in a list
2. On SECOND google doc/printed page
1. 3 most famous works (titled, dated, with pictures)

2. Make sure your analysis includes
1. what, in your opinion, is the main message of this work
2. how the elements of design are used to convey this message
