Leroy Neimen
Leroy Neiman is arguably one of the most popular living American artists. He was born in Minnesota in 1921 and began his career making images for magazines. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois.
Neiman is best known for his brightly colored images of athletes in ACTION. His impressionistic style of mark-making is what gives his paintings that sense of motion. Aside from sports, Neiman's subjects include musicians, celebrities, and animals.

Before we get started with the actual project, you will need to do some research and writing. Here's how you will proceed:
1. Create a new page on your WEEBLY site titled Leroy Neiman.
2. Research the life and work of Leroy Neiman.
3. On your Leroy Nieiman site, post at least 5 facts about his life and work. These need to be in complete, gramatically correct sentences. However, you do not need to put them in paragraph format.
4. Find and post an image of Leroy Neiman's work. This should be a painting that you either LOVE or HATE. Be sure to title it.
5. Write a 4-6 sentence paragraph that CRITIQUES this painting. What do you love or hate about it? WHY? What does it remind you of? What does it look like? Is it boring? WHY? Is it exciting? WHY?
6. Find and research another Impressionist artist. Here are some choices:
Monet, Seurat, Renoir, Cassat, Morisot, Pissaro
7. On the same page, post at least 5 facts about their life and work. Again, these do need to be in complete sentences, but you do not need to put them in paragraph format.
