Find 1 Piece of Art You Love

  You will be helping to curate an online art show for add-art http:// 
dev.eyebeam.org/projects/add-art   a firefox plugin that replaces  
advertising on web pages with art. This should take 20-30 min, but I  
am allotting an hour. Here's what you need to do:

1. Search for images of art works that are in the public domain  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain  Find one you really love,  
that gives you a new perspective on the world or makes you think in a  
different way.

The image should be large. At least 800x600.

2. Crop the images to the following dimensions at 72dpi

* 88×31
* 120×240
* 120×600
* 125×125
* 150×60
* 150×250
* 160×600
* 180×150
* 184×90
* 234×60
* 240×400
* 250×250
* 300×250
* 336×280
* 392×72
* 468×60
* 728×90

The images should be cropped with to create new compositions. No  
stretched images, no arbitrary cropping.

3. include a name and the dimensions at the end. For example:  
name88×31.jpg, name120×240.jpg, name120×600.jpg, and so on.

4. zip or tar the files and deliver them via email
