Article Title

Otti Berger

Article Evaluation

Lead section needs work- the first sentence does not describe who Otti was or why she was important. The lead section is short and does not do a good job or providing an overview of the artist. There is a block quote that would fit better somewhere else in the article or not at all. Some reference links are broken. Organization is straight forward. A section for what museums or institutions own Berger’s work would be relevant or what museum exhibitions her work has been included in. Writing quality is fine- the sentences are concise and easy to understand, but the style is short and choppy. Varied sentence structure would improve this article. Additional images would be beneficial since this is an artist page. Article is rated start class

Option 2

Article title

Else Regensteiner

Article Evaluation

Article is sparse and could use more information throughout. Article could be organized differently with a section for early life, personal life and education separated, and an additional section for exhibitions or collections. Books section could be filled out more. This article has no images. Only three references are provided and the links all work. This article is rated start class.

Option 3

Article title

Florence Henri

Article Evaluation

Lead section is too long and detailed. There are some grammar errors and sentence structure is short and choppy. There are not many images, especially of Henri’s art. In early life section, some information could be in its own section- it is not her early life it is just pre-Bauhaus. Under education there should be more information about Henri’s experiences and time at the Bauhaus. There is no section or information on her later life or death. There could be a section for books/publications about her, exhibitions she has been in, and what collections she is included in. All reference links work, but there are only nine references. Article is rated stub class.

Option 4

Article title

Frida Hansen

Article Evaluation

Lead section could be longer and more detailed. Early life section could be separated into more relevant sections. Study abroad section could be part of education or another section, it is too short to stand on its own. There is no information or section on later life or her death. Article is rated start class. There could be a section on what collections her work is held in. There are some images, but could be more. Multiple reference links are broken. References are almost all websites, lacking scholarly sources or books.

Option 5

Article title

Alice Kagawa Parrott

Article Evaluation

Lead section is short and could have more information. Article is sparse in general and all sections could use more information. A lot of information from the early life section is not early life and should be reorganized. Many paragraphs are just one sentence and there is not much transition between these paragraphs. Public collections section could be filled out more.

This article is rated start class. There are only five references. There are no images of Parrott’s work.

Option 6

Article title

Lenore Tawney

Article Evaluation

Lead section should be longer and more detailed. Could be organized better- there is a lot of topic overlap between career and artwork. Could be separate sections for exhibitions and collections. Artwork section should not be divided by medium. There are few images, would benefit from many more. Detailed and extensive section of exhibitions. A lot of information is taken from the Lenore Tawney Foundation- not a neutral source. Half the references are pages from the foundation website. Some links are broken. Rated start class.
