Dear Ms. Spann,
Our class is researching different famous artists. I have chosen Kehinde Wiley because I love his colorful, realistic paintings. He is most famous for the portraits of rappers he painted for the MTV Hip-Hop awards.
I need to use online sources for my project because of the contemporary nature of my subject. Since Kehinde Wiley is a young artist who is working today, not much printed information has been published about him. Neither our library nor our textbook has any information about him.
If I could use the internet to research Mr. Wiley, I would use the strategies we learned in class for evaluating online resources. I would pay particular attention to point of view or bias. For example, I know that if I found an article on his website, it would be biased to promote him. I would have to look on other sites to find articles that are critical of his work.
Please allow us to access the internet to research current topics!
Thank you,
Jessica

I like your point about Kehinde Wiley being a contemporary artist and how you can find more information about him online than in a book.
