My favourite artist essay
 
We already know that you do not have a favourite artist. Yet, you need to pretend as if you have one and write your artist essay about him/her. You should do the following:

• write down on paper names of all artists that you know;
• choose one artist from the list;
• collect information about him/her (start with his/her biography, find out what movement this artist belongs to, check his/her most famous works).

Do not make your paper based on dry facts only. To make your “favourite” artist essay more impressive, add your opinion about the works, insert a couple of specific terms.
 
Comparing artists
 
Many students choose to write compare and contrast essays on artists, and you can do the same. Since you are not an expert in art, better find several examples of essays on artists to check what particular artists are good to compare and contrast.
