Artist List - for real-world art connections
ARTISTS:
Look up all artists in this list in preparation for solving your art problem. After looking at all of their work, select one artwork by one artist to use as inspiration for your piece. You may be inspired by the social message of the artist, you may be inspired by their use of symbols or motifs, or you may be inspired by the way they have communicated their particular social issue (ie through texture, through a single repeating design, through certain details, etc).
