You are a young talented artist in the 80's, and the Saatchi art gallery has commissioned you to do an artwork **//i//****n //your own personal street art style//**//. You know all the// principles and theories of the style, and you are very VERY good but, you are just a young artist with little experience… ¿Can you reach the gallery expectations? For this final work, we are going to:

1. Search information about //**neo-expressionism**//. You are going to inquire the meaning of this XX century art movement, and its characteristics. In a 100 words abstract you are going to write what you understand (using your own words). Upload this to your blog on a new entry. Then, you are going to choose one of this artists, and write down a biography about him: -Jean Michel Basquiat. -Georg Baselitz. In your workbook write down the biography of the artist you chose (80 words). Look for images of the artist's artworks.

2. Choose a social, political or cultural problem to represent on the final artwork. For this final art piece you have to combine all the street art techniques we studied (TAG, Stencil, neo-expressionism). You can use all these techniques freely. Then, make a sketch of your final artwork in your art workbook.
