= //__Annie Leibovitz __// =

= = =//__The artist we chose to do is Anna-Lou Leibovitz and she was born on October 2, 1949 in Westbury, Connecticut and is still living today. Her family had six children born to Sam and Marilyn Leibovitz. She initially started painting as her main art form but later realized that photography was her passion. This became her primary art form and what she would study for the rest of her career. Her camera is a very important part of her job. The camera takes the shots that become masterpieces. Most of her artwork was taken in color and black and white; there were a variety of photographs. People were her main object in most pictures. She would take pictures of people standing, or sitting and in many other strange poses, but these pictures were works of art that are very well renowned. When she got the job working for the magazine Rolling Stone her career took off. Here she developed a trademark technique, which was the use of bold primary colors and surprising poses. One cover that got a lot of attention was the issue that had a nude John Lennon curled around his fully clothed wife. This photo was taken in Yoko Ono, 1983 and this photo was shot just hours before John’s death. Annie was best known for her photography in magazines because she chose different poses that were not commonly seen on a regular basis. When she began her new career at Vanity Fair magazine, she was doing stunning and often controversial portraits of celebrities. In 1987 Annie earned her first Clio award, which was a great accomplishment for this great photographer. After living on an Israeli Kibbutz for a short time she decided to start a career and pursue her dream of becoming a photographer. This lead to amazing artwork and the great artist we know today. __//=

= __Shine Bright!! __ =

//__The title of my art piece that I have chosen is shine bright. It’s about a 14-year girl that’s always outside. And is always happy and never sad she likes to shine in the sun and feel bright and happy. She always thinks about good stuff and never bad. She doesn’t want to be sad anymore. I put a pink background in the picture and in the real background is tree and the sun is shining on my model. On some of my picture I changed it and made it brighter made it black and white and one like a color sketch. Then I put just the normal one. And I put four pictures together of the same picture but made them different I think it was a good idea to do that. And my artiest is Annie Leibovitz I got the idea from looking at one of her pictures that she had taken off. I am very happy of what I took of and its vey good I took it just like the one I have looked at. When I asked my model to go over there and then I would take the picture she listens I didn’t have any problems with her. She was a very good person and I took a very pretty picture of her. My artwork was really good. I was happy of what I took and who I took it of. She was really good model to take of and that I was happy about my picture and how I made it and changed it around. I like how it looks and how I made it look by changing it I thought it was wonderful picture. __//
