Women in Art Speech 

 For this project you will choose a female artist to showcase in a 4-5 minute speech.

 Your artist may be classic or contemporary. She may be a painter, sculptor, or photographer--as long as she is a visual artist.

 Your speech should cover the following points:

 • A short **biography** of your artist.  • Some information on your artist's **motivation**--why does she do what she does?  • Some **examples** of her work Choose a **theme from class** that you see expressed in this artist's work. Showcase it in a close reading of one piece that speaks to you.

 The close reading should be at least 1/3 of the speech--it needs to be specific and detailed. Can you connect the piece to some modern ideas and concepts we have looked at?

 You need to turn in the following:

 • A full sentence outline,  with introduction and conclusion written out in their entirety (do you remember the parts of an introduction and conclusion?).

  • A correctly formatted <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> works cited page <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> (remember to cite the images, as well). <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> • Your <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">speaking note card <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">, which should have no more than 50 words on it.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> Turn in the outline and works cited in the appropriate Showbie folder.
