Each flap contains something different about the artist. 
1. Education 
2. Timeline
3. 10 important things to know 
4. Opinion of the artist 
5. Works from the artist 

The cover should be inspired by the artists style ]]> 2018-11-20 21:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306542254 alexmurray https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306558359 This type of activity would help students visualize the vocabulary of the different techniques they are in the process of learning. ]]> 2018-11-20 23:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306558359 alexmurray https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306558527 This worksheet is a tool that allows students to think about and write down ideas for concepts that they like. ]]> 2018-11-20 23:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306558527 alexmurray https://padlet.com/alexmurray/74668ptb0da0/wish/306558699 This activity has students answer a question then create a coat of arms from that answer.
