The Letter

The group must check out several art movements.  Each member will bring one movement to the groups' attention.  The group must reach agreement on which movement to follow for the assignment.

Each member of the group must analyze a work of art from your movement.  Compare and contrast the work of the group with the work of the potential member.

You will write a letter to the prospective artist explaining why they were accepted or rejected by your group. Explain how their work and philosophy would make them a benefit to the group or why they should find a different group of artists.  Explain how their art is similar or different from the work of the group.  Use examples to support your explanation.

Your letter should reflect the time period it is created in.  Consider what kind of paper would be used, what kind of lettering would be used and the method that would be used to send it.
