JR - The French Photographer

JR, a french photographer, started when he found a camera in the Paris metro in 2001. After he found this camera he knew his destiny was to head all around Europe and begin capturing photos of the real world in the city streets. When he was younger JR had always been interested in graffiti, and that is what influenced him to combine the thought of photography being installed into the streets, like graffiti has been into the cities. JR has work that reveals true humanity, and had decide to put forth his work in places where people can be inspired to change the world for the better (usually the cities). JR once said, "the street is the largest art gallery in the world.", and this is what keeps him going each and everyday.

This artist influences me because he has is very determined to inspire others around the world, while also making the world a better and more admirable place. One of his most inspiring pieces of art is the "Women Are Heroes" project. JR took photographs of women, of their eyes and face, and put them on the roof top of their fragile houses. The material used for the photographs are water resistant so that during heavy rain season, the houses can be protected.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Malena Bozzini Malena Bozzini is a sophomore college student studying psychology. As her passion she is an artist. Her work is so original and abstract in order to dramatize her figures. She creates art out of emotion and uses her feelings to choose color and shape. One of the most interesting facts is that all of her pieces are done with colored pencils. Her art is so expressive that each piece gives out its own vibe. What makes her art unique is that it is inspired by motion and gestures. It is amazing how she developed such a style at such a young age. Instagram @ malenabozzini
