Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Hannah Höch
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate.

I recognized Höch's name when looking at the "B-Class History of photography articles" and was curious to see what people had said about her. I thought it was interesting that she fell under this category since I had only known her collage works. I did not think of her to be a photographer per say. I quickly learned that her use of other's photos is what has led her link to be in this category.
