JR, The French Artist/Activist

• JR's main tools are paper and glue
• He does not use a paper canvas, but uses walls of buildings and just the world to paste his work
• His artwork mostly contains pictures of people's faces
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Photograffeur: This term combines photography and graffiti. JR uses a mixture of the two in his artwork, so this is what he calls himself.
  
  
  A photograph or image can transform someone's life. It's the way the artist makes the picture. Everyone has different emotions towards an item. Sometimes, the artist could be making their work have one meaning and it's relayed really well, so the person who sees it can understand what it is going on. If someone photographs a disaster then someone may see it and it can impact them to help others. It is the way a person views the piece.

"Transformation"

http://www.pbs.org/art21/watch-now/segment-paul-mccarthy-in-transformation

In this video article, it focused on artist, Paul McCarthy. In his earlier days he began with making videos of himself and his body would be used as a tool or 'main focus'. At one point he dragged his body across the floor with a paint bucket. Resources were very limited back then so he used whatever was at hand. One may say that his videos were his art. It was not film, but as he described it, 'a painting.' McCarthy used silly or absurd costumes to create video or illustrations, it was narrative but it told a story like a painting would have.

 In his later years, his art transformed into what one may say 'live art', he used motorized work and technology to create moving pieces. He has also created many sculptures and drawings consisting of popular icons. McCarthy had used material-somewhat like material used for balloons-and made a sculpture of Pinocchio but filled with air. McCarthy's artwork consists of many different ideas and takes part in different areas of art. His work may seem humorous to the naked eye, but it comes together to tell a story.
