Article Evaluation
sub-headings could use more information, such as the Keith Haring Foundation, fashion, influences etc... There is a part under the "Early Life and Education" section where it talks about Haring and a religious background, but it does not state which religion he practiced or what were his parents religious background. Under "Fashion" it mentions Haring and Grace Jones working together for performances, but it does not say what the performances were or any information of them Follow feedback given and elaborate on what was meant by "among others" in the Death section

Plague: drafting article
There is very little information about this artist beyond his art career. I plan to look into depth on aspects of his life other than his career, how we grew up, his inspirations, goals and so forth to maybe help others understand why his art style is the way that it is. Considering that there may not be a lot of information to find since he is a new upcoming artist having graduated in 2016.

Notes for improvement:

home town is San Bernardino, CA but currently lives and works in LA. Born in 1982. relocated from Brooklyn, New York where he lived from 2000 to 2014.
 * add more information to early life and education

his art consists mostly of photographs of artists, his friends and others. The photographs he takes are ripped apart and then rearranged, and taped in a certain way that created a whole other image. Basically a type of collage with a deeper meaning. For his projects he tries to fit in portraiture (his art style) and queer culture. through his art he wants to speak about homoerotic and queer culture, social, sexual exchange. He states that he wants to see how humans are able to interact with certain props given. He also uses himself as a subject in his photographs. The goal of his art and stated once, is that he wants to see queer ,black photographs to be in the same time space as contemporary conversations about photography together. https://creators.vice.com/en_us/article/aeq94p/paul-mpagi-sepuya-queer-photographic-space. his photographs show his interest in history of portraiture and the way that he plays around with cutting images and sticking them over other images. When doing his photographs he likes to have a studio that is familiar to him, so most photographs are taken in his or friends studios. He does this because he wants his presence and his relationship to the person that being used to show in his photographs. https://www.artspace.com/artist/paul-mpagi-sepuya

Hey Andrea,

I really enjoyed learning more about your artist and what inspired his artwork. You should definitely elaborate more on the part where he talks about "among others" I was confused on what he meant by among others or who he meant by that. I think you should either find a link or a source that will explain who he meant by "among others" it would be really reliable for those interested in your artist. Lizsantillan30 \

Hello Liz, thank you for the feedback and I will definitely look more into what they meant for "among others" and elaborate for a clearer understanding. Dreasalvador (talk) 04:45, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Andrea, Great article, a lot of well written information with credible, accurate citations (minimal citation errors present), and many great pictures. I would say take a look at the grammar and sentence structure of many sentences, saw a lot of fragment errors and run-on sentences. Other than that it was interesting to learn that Haring is not only an artist, but a fashionista as well. He's worked with stars like Madonna and big clothing companies like Coach and he's even worked with jewelry designers. Gabbsterxoxo (talk) 22:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)gabbsterxoxo

Hi Gabby! Thanks for the feed back, appreciate it. I will definitely take a look at the article and keep an eye out for those errors and run-on sentences. Dreasalvador (talk) 07:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
