INTRODUCTIONFor our final project, we will be creating puzzles inspired by our chosen

artist. We will then create a package, bag, box to contain the puzzle pieces with information about our artist. When we present, we will be “pitching” our ideas to the class to try to get them to “buy” your puzzle.

Attached is a list of artists. Each of you needs to choose an artist to research. We have enough artists on the list that each of you should have your own artist. Please choose the top 5 that you would like and we will choose names randomly from a hat (to choose order of picking).
