Master Artist Tribute SeriesLori Emmington

• Big Ideas
• Art is a reflection of the culture and time it
  was made.
• Throughout history, artists have been influenced
  by artists and artistic movements that have
  preceded them.
• A Master Artist is one whose creative ideas,
  discoveries and techniques influenced the
  historical course of art styles and movements.
• One way that we grow as an artist is to look at
  other artists' work, try to understand it
  aesthetically and then use this knowledge to
  continue to improve as an artist.
• A clear understanding of the sensory components
  (elements of art) and the organization of these
  components (principles of design) is necessary
  for the creation and the evaluation of artworks
