As I have said you can find artists easily on the website. David Hockney appears on the website it let's you know what he is all about.  David Hockney a British artist who has ocupations of a stage designer, photographer, painter and printmaker. As a highly popular artist of the 20th century he did study from 1953 to 1957 at Bradford School of Art. He involves many aspects into his work such as poems which he messes around with to create secret messages. He even used these to create 'homosexual love' which was a collection of paintings he created.  Through his time he experimented with different paints to create different textured surfaces.

Next I found information on the  artist Pablo Picasso who's ocupation consists of designer, painter, lithographer, ceramist,  painter and sculptor. He attended The School Of Fine Arts In 1895 then in 1897 he attended Madrid Academy. His work consisted of inspiration to places he had been such as Paris in autumn as well as emotion which is expressed in his 'Blue period' where his pieces where deep  and meaningful. He even created 'cubism' along side Braque. 

Overall the tate website helps students and adults locate information  in artist's, plus their pieces. As well as providing amazing services such as a membership plus, the website  is updated very frequently which helps you know what is happening next at the tate galleries.
