I'm doing something similar with my 7th and 8th grade students right
now. Last semester, students choose an artist to research in pairs and
created puzzles and a display for our artist in the spotlight bulletin
board. This semester, I'm teaching Pottery/ Sculpture. I gave these
students a list of about 30 artists who work with pottery, sculpture,
and architecture. They researched them in pairs and use Microsoft
Publisher to create a website about that artist. They have worked hard
but it's been even harder work on me finding images and information on
artists of the 20th century. I hope to upload these websites next Monday
for our teacher workday.

It sounds interesting for your students to present this in a lesson
format. Maybe you could even spread out the presentations throughout
the semester so they would coincide with other units you plan to teach.
