Tiffany Ownbey by Jared Tschoepe

Tiffany Ownbeys projects are based on what humans do with each other and stuff that she remembers. The scale and proportion is messed up because she wants to be known for attention. She makes creative sculptures out of different sewing patterns, old(classic) books and stuff that she finds lying on the ground or not being used. http://tiffanyownbey.com/home.html

Karen Croner by Jared Tschoepe

Karen Croner was a paper mache artist that was born and raised in Arizona. Her sculptures are inspired by what she did as a child, what she did at school and her love of different types of animals. Each of her creatures she makes is only going to be made once because she can only take pictures of people and animals up real close whnever they have time to. She makes her sculptures by using her hands to paint, paper mache it and make it. Everyone of her pieces takes between less than a day(20 hrs) and two and a half days(60 hrs). She uses different kinds of papers to paper mache them after she puts the wire on them. She adds details with paper pulp that is messed up or clay. She went to San Francisco State University.

Riusuke Fukahori by Mary Glatt

Riusuke Fukahori paints goldfish. But these aren't just plain, boring drawings of goldfish. These are three-dimensional goldfish that look real enough to fool almost anyone. By painting different parts of the fish onto layers of clear resin, Fukahori achieves a level of realism rarely seen in painting. An incredible attention to detail is clearly evident, right down to the individual scales that can be seen on the fish. Fukahori was born in 1973 in central Japan, and graduated from art school in 1995. In 2000, he got his start with goldfish. He had hit a slump, and was thinking about giving up art, when he saw a tank with a goldfish in it. The fish was sick and swimming in filthy water, but Fukahori thought she was beautiful, and immediately painted her. That was just the beginning.

Matisse's Art of Teaching by Kate Jurek

Henri Matisse was a french artist who lived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century with a very revolutionary ideas of art how to portray people and show light sources. He is most famous for his art movement that expressed light with bright colors called fauvism. His first exhibition was in 1904 but did not generate much excitement or interest. He had more success after he spent a Summer in St. Tropez with the neo-Impressionists Signac and Henri Edmond Cross. He painted some of his most popular and influential pieces. He also explored pointillism while in St. Tropez as well. Matisse later became a professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and pushed his students to formulate new concepts and find revolutionary ways to communicate their feelings and ideas.
