1. Formal analysts of 2-3 of their artworks. Where do you see artistic elements and principles? How do you process and understand the work because of them? Give specific examples. 

2. Process/Materials analysis of their works. What process is the artist interested in? Give a brief explanation of how this process informs your viewing and understanding of their work. Do you enjoy it? What about it do you appreciate, or not appreciate?

3. What are the main themes in their work? How do you see these present? What are their comments on the theme? Do you agree with them? Did they inform your interpretation or understanding of that theme/idea? How? Give specific examples.

I expect these submissions to be approx four pages long, (a strong paragraph for each of these questions, meaning a page of content for each artist, approx. 4 artists per episode makes 4 pages). Please be thorough, detailed, and explanatory, yet clear and concise in your ideas.
