JR Art - Photography

One of Miss Simpson's all time favourite artists, is JR, a French photographer.  JR travels all over the world photographing people's faces.  He asks them pose however they wish, and often people pull funny faces.  JR then blows the photos up to make huge posters, which he hangs in unusual places all over the cities of the world.  Some of the places he has worked have had terrible problems with war or poverty, and his art brings light to some dark places.  Here are some examples of his work:



Today we created our own photography, based on JR's style.  Tomorrow we'll be displaying our work around the school to see what kind of reaction we get!  Check it out!
