Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article as part of the evaluation activity. I also chose this article because it is Black History Month and I wanted to evaluate information about a local black artist. The Wikiprojects under African Diaspora (visual arts) offered a few selections.

Evaluate the article
I agree with the B status of the article given. Overall, the article leaves a good impression and provides a great foundation about Clementine, her career as a painter, and some of the challenges following her success such as forgery. The lead section provides an ok overview however, I think more insight should be given about her process of painting and other mediums she also worked with such as quilt-making. It gave a brief statement of what her work depicts, but I think there should also be a brief detail about Black southern life in the early 20th century. The references are mostly from local Louisiana, understandably given she's a Louisiana artist, however a broader spectrum of references from academic databases, international perspectives (if available), and references outside of Louisiana can always be included. The history of edits made showcase a large gap between September 2017 to February 2020. Although little attention was given to the article during that period, it is fairly well-written.ThirdBrownEye (talk) 17:52, 6 February 2023 (UTC)
