Option 1

 * Article title :Kiara Aileen Machado
 * Article Evaluation:Kiara Aileen Machado is the first artist I would like to write an article about. Since she doesn't have a page, I cannot critique it. Although, I intend to include a brief biography, the locations of her past exhibitions, and pictures of her artwork. She was born in 1993 in Lynwood, California. She received her BFA in painting and drawing from CSU Long Beach. As a Guatemalan and Salvadoran artist, she strives to create a space in the art world for Central American people, as she feels that many Latinx art shows are solely focused on Mexican art with no representation from other Central American countries.

Option 2

 * Article title:Anna Valdez
 * Article Evaluation:Another artist I would like to write an article about would be Anna Valdez. She does not have a page either. Similar to Kiara Aileen Machado, I would include a short biography, her past exhibitions, and pictures of her artwork. Anna Valdez is a multi-disciplinary artist working in Los Angeles, CA. She creates colorful paintings, taxidermied animals, sculptures, and pottery.

Option 3

 * Article title:Monica Aissa Martinez
 * Article Evaluation:Since a large part of Monica Aissa Martinez's art centers around human and animal biology, the article could perhaps include those details when talking about her artwork. Because copyright would prevent images of her art being posted, it would be helpful to at least describe what she often draws.

Option 4

 * Article title:Emilia Cruz
 * Article Evaluation:The article about Emilia Cruz is very concise. It provides a short biography, some of her most notable works, and additional readings on top of the references. The lead also gives a short description of what she usually depicts in her art and the materials she uses. There are sources for almost every sentence, so the information is well-substantiated. Many locations also include hyperlinked text, which is helpful.

Option 5

 * Article title:Sonya Fe
 * Article Evaluation:The page about Sonya Fe is very effective as well. It includes a short biography, a summary of her work, and places where her art was collected and exhibited. Like the author of the Emilia Cruz article, the author of this page included a description of Fe's paintings. Although, there is a 3-sentence-long quote in the "Work" section where the link does not work. Fe discusses the nature of her works in that quote, so I am interested where it originally came from.
