Option 1

 * Article title
 * Natalie Ball


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's introduction is a single sentence and it gives no real impression of the kind of art she creates. It simply describes it as "interdisciplinary"
 * The background section is very short and mostly describes where her family came from. There is little discussion of her early life/major life events
 * the sections on her artwork and art career are bare and lack depth. The article in its spareness gives the impression that she is unsuccessful/unknown
 * of the art it describes, there are no photos
 * also there are no photos of her
 * wiki rates her article as "start class" and so there is a lot to build on and add in.
 * Sources
 * https://www.natalieball.com/press
 * while her website is not a wiki approved source, this links to press coverage of her artwork including articles written for the NY Times.
 * https://www.nativeartsandcultures.org/natalie-ball

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Earline Hearth King


 * Article Evaluation
 * the article frequently references that she has sculpted hundreds of sculptures, but there are no photos of them
 * many of those apparently commissioned pieces; implying at least some level of success
 * there are only the sections titled "work" and "biography" and neither fully explain either catergories; they are extremely broad
 * the article doesn't explain any specifics about her techniques or style of sculpture
 * there is no greater context for her art, artistic inspiration, whether or not she contributed to any sort of artistic movement
 * The introductory sentence references that she is a singer but that doesn't come up again in the article and it fails to paint a picture of what her greatest artistic contributions were
 * as a "start class" rated article there is plenty of room to add on and create new sections


 * Sources
 * https://wakespace.lib.wfu.edu/handle/10339/37321

 * https://books.google.com/books?id=TC_5pFrSJWYC&pg=PP10&lpg=PP10&dq=earline+heath+king&source=bl&ots=LIC2UVb2Vq&sig=ACfU3U0NemPFWOhLhN4yYCgHBk5mj49kVg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj8seCV4u_kAhUHLKwKHaCkAIE4FBDoATACegQICBAB#v=onepage&q=earline%20heath%20king&f=false
 * this explains her beginnings as an artist
 * https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/charlotte/name/earline-king-obituary?id=8511656
 * this obituary mentions "In 1993 she had a one man Exhibition at the Galleria Luigi Bellini in Florence, Italy. She also exhibited her works in galleries throughout the United States" which is promising information. There may be more informaiton on her place in the art world covered by coverage of these exhibitions.

Option 3

 * Jane Kidd
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is almost entirely just one paragraph in the "biography" section
 * the section simply lists several awards
 * there's no context provided for her work
 * no images of her or her artwork
 * there is a selected works section but it doesn't even describe the works or why they were selected for the article

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Tracy Krumm
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is spares and simply lists out a handful of achievements

 * level of involevement here would suggest a large career and a much larger article than is shown
 * There is little on her early life and career development
 * What is listed suggests much more than is documented in the article; there is one award/exhibit listed under the exhibitions section
 * stub-class rated article; lots to build off of and lots missing
