the artists

We've explored the food, mythology, architecture, health and spirituality of our chosen country thus far. Today, I would like to identify a few of the artists that are currently working or are famous/well known and native to the country.

TODAY'S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Do a Google search specifically looking for the well known artists of your chosen country. Try to find artists working not only in your specific area of expertise but also in two or three other mediums. In other words, if you're a writer, try to find a painter and a musician, a ceramicist, a cloth designer, an interior designer or a sculptor.

Then do the same search trying to find the artists that are currently working, the ones that are still in the trenches. Think outside the traditional "in a museum" or "pay to see it" arts. The folk arts, small unheard of theatres, etc.

Try to find 3 established artists and 3 "fringe" artists from your chosen country.

Again, you don't have to become an expert on them...yet. You're just hunting and gathering at this point.
