1.He was Jacopo di Pogobonsi, an artist and plagarizer.
2.He was famous for his(plagarized) paintings 3.achieved his fame by being a plagiariser.
4.he went to Florence to cinnini at the age of thirteen for 10 years and she was his teacher she taught him art and urge to make him train his artistic abilities and then at age twenty two he started to plagiaris Lippis work. Then he continued to do so.
5.That he was in a relationship with a man called benetto
6. I think that was bad that most of his life was plagiarising and he should not copy other peoples work. We think this because Lippi worked hard on his work and jacopo didn't.
part 2
1.I would put his self portrait on the top instead of the bottom.
2. this website is good because it gives a lot of imformation about jacopo.Also because it includes many of the pieces of arts that were his(plagarised)
3. No this way is fine,but i would incluide a few more details.
4.No its fine
5.I think it gave good information and the font was fine and it was well organized,but i would include a real picture(if possible) oj JAcopo and Benedetto.MAybe even of Lippi and Cennini

Jacopo Di Poggibonsi was a scamartist.
1. he was an artist.
2. he was famous for plagirism.
3. by steeling art work and putting his name on it.
4. he made his career by plagirism.
5. Even though i sometimes use his method i still think its wrong because the other person worked so hard to finish and acomplish what he wanted to do for no reason, just so someone else could copy and not think of an idea them selfs and being lazy.
