Bundle 3: Ask Someone

When this bundle began I had no clue what to do it on. I made a list of possible topics but couldn't decide which one. While at work one day I was talking with my supervisor and found out she is an art major. From her I learned a bit about each topic I was considering. She recommended I do something different that people don't realy think about. She seemed to think things like surrealism was to easy and that impressionism would be a challenge and possibly fun. I asked if there were any art museums around here and she referred me to the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. She didn't know much about the history besides that its a Paris based art form. She knew of some famous impressionist painters like Monet and Renoir. What I didnt even realize was that Van Gogh was an impressionist. With these names in hand I was able to do some research on these guys and use them for my brochure which will include a list of artists and their history. Every once and a while over the course of this bundle I would bring up some artists names and see what she knew. She knew of the artists but not much about their life history. Although she was not much of a help with the history, she did help me in choosing my topic a giving me a place to start with a couple of names.
