Option 1

 * Article title: Hmong textile art
 * Article Evaluation: The article gave a brief and broad overview of some of the different types of textile making that the Hmong people make as well as some context about its origins and purpose. However, the article does not go into detail about how and why traditional textiles may be used in the everyday life of Hmong people such as in their religion and spirituality. It also did not include examples of common textile making/embroidery techniques seen in Hmong textiles.

Option 2

 * Article title: Shigeo Fukuda
 * Article Evaluation: article gives brief background context for Fukuda and describes his accomplishments. However, the article does not go into his creative process, what makes his designs distinct, and includes the titles of his works but no visuals or links to them.

Option 3

 * Article title: Art toys
 * Article Evaluation: This article provides examples of different designer toys but does not go into the origin of where the idea of designer toys first started. There also seems to be a lack of visuals, which I think are crucial to understanding how these toys might differ from toys marketed towards children. I have found a few articles about the history of toys and the "art toy movement" that I think could provide some context.

Option 4

 * Article title: Hmong customs and culture
 * Article Evaluation: This article covers a variety of topics from gender roles to spirituality/religion to sports. There is no particular organization scheme for the content topics. If one were to look for an article about Hmong religion/spirituality/shamanism, they would have to navigate to this page and sift through the various contents. I think having a separate page exclusively focusing on Hmong shamanism/animism would allow greater detail on that particular topic. I have found several sources on this topic ranging from videos to articles and journals.

Option 5

 * Article title: Vienna Secession
 * Article Evaluation: Article has a pretty good overview of the historical timeline and context of the Vienna Secession as well as includes a variety of different genres found in this style. It could be stronger in the influence section of the article, which is less robust than the other topics within the article. I found some pretty good sources on the databases and maybe could draw from the textbook.
