=**__10 ARTIST__**= 1. **Edmonia Lewis**- I like her sculptures, she has some work that she did in Italy. I also like her work because she is part Native American, but classifies her self as African American. She puts her heritage into many of her works. [] I found this link from the Smithsonian Art Institute. 2. **Victor Vasrely**- Some pretty funky work that is mainstreamed into pop culture that inspires computer science, fashion and the way we look. Here is a neat quote "The art of tomorrow will be a collective treasure or it will not be ART at all." [] This link is from the offical website of Victor Vasrely. 3. **Bob Fosse**- a singer, dancer, director and choreographer. He was a wild child that enjoyed performing as much as he enjoyed women, drinking and drugs. I chose this because I see dance as a form of art. [] The link is a website dedicated to Bob Fosse that I found when I googled his name. 4. **Myra Yvonne Chouteau-** I chose Myra because when I think of Native American ballet dancers the first name that comes to mind is Maria Tallchief. Its cool to give some other dancers some props too once in awhile. She was danced in the //Nutcracker// and //Rome and Juliet// two of my favorite pieces. 5. **Langston Huges-** February Black History Month. I came across Huges while I was helping my kids out with a school assignment of African American and I stumbled this poet. I read his bio and it turns out his father didn't think he could make a living off poetry. His work does not just consist of poetry. He is also known for his essays as well. [] I found this link from googling Huges name. 6. **Joshua Johnson**- Just the fact that he's only 14 and does phenominal work is what draws my attention to this artist. Very realistic paintings. 7. **Bob Haozous-** This Native sculptor's work is more cotempoary American with Apache influence rather then historial work of the Apaches that have gone before him. He does some really awsome work with my favorite piece of his called, "Wheel of Fortune". [] This link is a website of Haozous. 8. **Emily Carr-** Carr, a painter form Canada. She was pretty intresting to me because she was interested in the Native Tribes of Canada. She visited the villages of the Tribes and studied the totem poles and other worked she considered as beautiful works of art. Carr also was a writer. [] The link is Emily Carr web page. 9. **Max Dupain-** Just a few words, Austrialian, Photography, Beautiful. I've always been very fond of Austrailia so I looked here to find an artist for my assignment. His black and white photographs are what made him famous. [] This link was found by google. 10. **Olga Rozanova-** She's has some really neat drawings with many infulances such as, French, Italian, and Russian. I chose her because I wanted to be equal in my search of artists around the world. She is the fifth woman on my list.

=__10 Art Forms__= 1. **Flags Making**- When I thought of flags in the past they really didn't pop out as "art" to me until I was searching for stuff for my assignment. Countries, States, Colleges and Sports teams just to name a few have very detailed work on thier flags ranging from geometrial designs to real life imagary. Below are my two favorite flags:

2. **Sterling Silver Jewlery**- I was drawn to the work because it reminds me that we need to try diffenrent things out before we find what we are really good at. Davida, the maker of the earrings, knew art was a passion and found after many tries it was in making sterling silver jewlery with bringing Judaism inspiration back into his life. Davidas jewlery many not be as famous as something from Tiffany's but it looks awsome to me. [] The link is from a Jewish on line catalog. 3. **Spiritual Art-Mandala-** This is some really neat stuff. I looked at different websites and found that people from all around the world are submitting thier Mandala works to the websites to promote, beauty and peace for ALL people of the world. A couple of the websites have coloring pages attached to them that one can download and make their own Mandala piece. The image is from the Mandala web page.

4. **Childrens Poetry-** Being a single mother of three my children are always in my thoughts when I'm doing just about everything. They came to mind when doing this assignment. I first introduced poerty to my kids at a young age with the works of Shel Silverstein and of course Dr. Zuess. Here is a poem that I found:

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands, Ringed with the azure world, he stands. The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls: He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls. 5. **Glass Blowing**- This is some really cool stuff. Its amazing when you see it. It links science with art. [|www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1xb48Y6EdA] The link is from You Tube. 6. **Gum Sculpting-** I gues this could also be considered of some type of weird art. But then again some may think the //Mona Lisa// could also be considered weird art. I just thought this was really neat and you can see by the detail it took along time to make.

8. **Envirnomental Art-** This art form is more then just paintings and literary works. I like this because it has a cause and deep feelings around the art that each artist presents to the public. [|**http://greenmuseum.org/**] I found this web page through Bing.com 9. **Hair Design**- Hair design is a really cool and over looked art form. It requires time, and skill to create the fabulous hair styles worn by celebrates as well as everyday people. The braids, curls and cuts, up-doo's show how ones hair can become a work of art. The use of color, flowers and even jewels are defiantly great characteristics of art.
