Fashion Photographers

Rankin is a fashion photographer named John Rankin Waddell. His style is very striking because it uses patterns and cool poses to make images that are interesting and almost abstract.




Thierry Le Goues's style uses cool shadows to show off the clothes and how vibrant they are compared with the drab but weirdly fascinating backgrounds.




Alice Hawkins uses bright colors and patterns and also uses cool shadows and reflections. Also animals are featured in most of the photographs I found.

Making Abstract Photos






Abstract Art

Abstract art is any form of art that uses lines and colors to create a unique form. Non objective art is like abstract art and basically means that there is no definite recognizable image. Non representational art is not at all realistic and is not of this world. Abstract expressionism is an art movement from the 1950s, where the goal was to be as unrealistic as possible and simply using lines and colors.

Recycled Sculpture


This is Pippin the Pirate. His head and body are spools of thread covered with fabric, his hat is a metal hinge or support of some kind and a feather, and his arms and legs are tiny tools and lollipop sticks. His island is made of a paint cap, masking tape, dust from sandstone, more fabric, and charms.

Eco Artists: Andy Goldsworthy







Andy Goldsworthy is an artist who uses only nature to create interesting images. This means that he doesn't use paints to edit- he lets nature do the work. He does most of his stuff in Scotland and arranges it so that it's like a spiral or triangle.
