Option 1

 * Article title
 * Métis Art
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article doesn't exist yet, so it would be made from scratch. Although, considering the other information that can be found on Wikipedia on Métis people, I believe that adding this topic is needed. There are many different forms of art that are made by these people that does not seem to be acknowledged on the site (except for Métis Fiddle as its own article), and I believe that it would be good to gather up the different artists and art forms of these people into one place.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Métis


 * Article Evaluation
 * Upon seeing this article on Wikipedia, there is a notification about the article needing improvement; mainly more trustworthy sources for verification. I think taking on the challenge of finding new, updated sources that provide reliable information about the Métis people would be a good project to take on.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Pop Art


 * Article Evaluation
 * I think expanding on Pop Art as a discussion of gender expression would be a meaningful contribution to discussions about this movement. This article has quite a bit going for it, but I believe that either in the article itself--or in a separate one on its own--would be a good addition for articles about this specific movement. Women are portrayed a lot in these works, but are there other expressions of gender? What was the point in putting women in all of these arts? What intentions did it have? Finding sources and creating an article on this topic would be a good idea.
