Artist Week 8- Photographer shout out
1. Cindy Sherman
"If I knew what the picture was going to be like I wouldn’t make it. It was almost like it was made already...the challenge is more about trying to make what you can’t think of."
An American photographer that is known for her portrayal of feminine stereotypes. Yay for feminism.
2. David La Chapelle
http://www.lachapellestudio.com/exhibitions/
The irony and the outrageous images he captures the hilarity of pop culture.
3. Suntek Chung
The mix of being Korean and being raised in Richmond make his photos both funny and unique.
4. Arnold Newman
To contrast the last two artists, I picked the classic black and white photographer Newman for his timeless, simplicity.
5. Paul Strand
A modernist photographer that helped photography as an art form.

Artist Week 7
1. Edward Robert Hughes
An English painter who specialized in watercolor and gouache to create flowing, dreamy fairytale scenes of mostly women. He also utilized lighting to create that atmosphere.
2. Edward Hopper
Most known for his oil paintings, Hopper painted like he was capturing a moment in time. In his "Nighthawks," he realistically captures an intimate moment between late-nighters. As a night owl myself, it relates to me personally.
3. John Wonnacot
Wonnacot uses his distinct style of painting to add a twist of perspective and lighting to make a sight Wonderland effect.
4. Antoine Bourdelle
I gotta say that the French know how to produce sculptors. His mythological sculptures could rival that of Rodin.
5. Sandro Botticelli
I remember looking at his "The Birth of Venus" in first grade, the teacher asked us to be mature. lol. I've never liked the composition because it seemed unbalance, but I guess it had to be to get the effect of wind blowing her to shore. I've always loved the flow of movement and texture in each of the figures in the painting.
