FINE ARTS REALISM/IMPRESSIONISM PROJECT

This project has the power to FAIL you for this 9 weeks.  This could in turn mean you will fail the semester. Therefore, you WILL NOT be graduating May 24th.  This project CAN also mean you will pass this class even if your grade is currently not very good. 

Learning Objective: I can demonstrate my knowledge of the Realist and Impressionist periods and demonstrate thorough knowledge of an artist from each period.

WE WILL SPEND AS MUCH CLASS TIME AS POSSIBLE ON THIS PROJECT. BUT WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE OF GETTING A LAB.  WE WILL ALSO COVER OTHER TOPIC SIMULTANEOUSLY.  THE DUE DATE IS THE DUE DATE!

First off, this project is individual.  IF your project topic is the same as someone else's be VERY careful. This includes another class period. I am not stupid, I can read and can spot cheating.  The student handbook outlines academic dishonesty.
