=__**John Feodorov:**__= == =About John Feodorov = ===John Feodorov was born in 1960 in Los Angeles. Mixed Native American and Euro-American descent. He observes stereotypes, where Native Americans were idealized as the living embodiment of spirituality. He was big on sculpture and it often had a lot to do with fantasy, and myths. John was also a musician and he wanted people to be able to relate to his artwork.===

=How does John Feodorov appeal to you? = ===John Feodorov appeals to me because their artwork inspires him to look at the world from a new perspective, for me that’s what artwork is all about. Artwork is supposed to make emotions come out of it. He work is very dream like and very ambiguous. I also like his artwork because it reminds of me Picasso with the unique point of view and the different shapes.===

=Media and Techniques: = ===Feodorov used many important and spiritual items to display the way he felt. During one of his “times” he used teddy bears and oddly shaped heads to display his feelings towards what he felt was his culture. He also has a very dramatic affect of distorting faces, and shapes to make them look more unrealistic and dramatic at the same time.===

=Who does John Feodorov relate to? = ===Feodorov’s artwork looks and reminds me a lot of Picasso’s artwork. I believe that they have artwork that is very much alike because Picasso distorted peoples faces and parts of their body. Feodorov also distorts peoples bodies and faces but he makes it look more dramatic, while Picasso did the same thing with inanimate objects.===

=How will he inspire me? = ===John Feodorov will inspire me to use my culture to do my artwork. He will inspire me to be my own person and use what is ME to do my artwork. He will inspire me to be an individual instead of like everyone else. I will take my culture and things I care about and turn them into wonderful pieces of artwork that inspire other people to do the same.===

 =About Raymond Pettibon: = ===Raymond Pettibon was born in 1957 in Tucson, Arizona. He had 5 siblings and he got a degree in economics from University of California Los Angeles. Later on he became a High School math teacher, but shortly after he realized that wasn’t for him so then he became a professional artist. He mostly does contemporary American art. He works primarily with drawing, text and artists books.===

=How does Raymond Pettibon appeal to you? = ===Raymond Pettibon’s artwork appeals to me because it is very dramatic. He has a unique sense of style and tries to be different from everyone else. He mostly does cartoon works that tells a bit of a story that people have to find out on their own. Pettibon’s artwork sets a kind of mystery about his pieces. His work is very unique which is why I like it, you have to guess what he’s trying to say.===

=Media and Techniques: =

Raymond primarily uses ink and color to draw/paint his artwork. It’s very basic, but it has a fantastic affect.
=Who does Raymond Pettibon relate to? = ===Raymond relates to Salvador Dali in a lot of ways. First of all, Dali said “People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.” Raymond’s artwork has a sense of mystery and you have to really think in order to figure out what it means. Also, everything in both of their paintings/drawings are their for a reason and they symbolize something.===

=How will he inspire me? = ===He will inspire me to be more dramatic and to use a different type of style. I will do this to be more unique and have more mystery. The more mystery I have the more I will keep people guessing making it a better piece of art.===

=**__Catherine Sullivan:__**=





=About Catherine Sullivan: = ===Catherine Sullivan was born in 1968 in Los Angeles California. She had a lot to do with the arts, including acting and script writing. Her artwork had a lot of emotion and movement. You can feel the way the people in the art would feel. She also wrote a lot of scripts that were very emotional.===

=How does Catherine Sullivan appeal to you? = ===Catherine Sullivan’s artwork has a lot of emotion that you can feel when you look at it. The more you look at them the more emotion you feel from them. Sometimes they make you scared and nervous while other times they are happy and energetic. I also like her artwork because they have meaning behind it, making it an all together better piece.===

=Media and Techniques: =

She typically does films with a lot of feeling and emotion behind them, but she also does photography. She does not typically paint or draw, but sometimes she will just for fun.
=Who does Catherine Sullivan relate to? = ===Catherine Sullivan relates to Julia Margaret Cameron they both used emotion, romance and torment to get a point across. Although Julia Margaret Cameron is very famous and known as a true photo artist. Sometimes Julia would use celebrities as her main focus while Catherine Sullivan would use friends, family and random people to show her topic.===

=<span style="color: #0bad0b; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">How will she inspire me? = ===Her artwork will inspire me to use certain people as a main point to get across what I'm trying to display. I will also be using more emotion in my artwork so that it is more dramatic like her artwork. One thing about her artwork that inspired me was the facials of the people. They actually look scared, mad, terrified, happy, ecstatic and more. You can tell by their face how they are feeling, also by their stance.===
