Japan is a place full of wonders and colors during spring. Sakura is cherry blossom in Japan and they hold viewing parties for them in the beginning of march and april that only lasts a short while. This is when the sakura trees are in full bloom. Cherry blossoms are important to Japan because it signified new beginnings. This visual 
reminder how valued life should be. Many thought that the sakura trees contained spirits and made offerings. Hanami is the term for the festivities of viewing the cherry blossom trees. They celebrate this in parks, temples and shrines. Most celebrations take place during the day but others prefer dusk for the lanterns and with the pink glow that the trees give off. During hanami season japanese people tend to go a little “ overboard “ with the whole cherry blossom time. Markets tend to even have limited edition sakura 
flavored items. Some ideal places that hold these celebrations include Mount Fuji , Shinjuku Gyoen, Tokyo , Kyoto, Matsuyama.
Arnold Newman was known for his portraits of famous artists and politicians. or environmental portraiture. His work was mostly published in magazines. He was not only known for his photographs but for his many books. His work was featured in photographic books. At first Newman studied painting but after moving to Miami his interests turned to photography.He didn’t like being known as “ father of environmental portraiture “. He says that his work has much more meaning than just having artists strike and pose. Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world states Newman.
I find this my favorite from his work because of the angle and how Bill Clinton’s office was in the view too.
Edward Weston was known for pictorialists style photography, but soon evolved and changed the his ways. Weston’s style had a lot symbolism and detail. His photographs range from nature to focusing on the human figure.His best work comes from his family portraits . His work also includes landscapes, natural forms and nudes. He was born in Highland Park Illinois . After the fire and earthquake in san francisco , Weston traveled to California then later returned to Chicago for Illinois college of photography. Once again he returned to Cali and married, had children and continued to produce fascinating work.
I enjoy this photo from his work because the focus of the photo makes it really beautiful.

Mark Jenkins is a famous artist who started to make sculptures completely out of plastic wrap and masking tape. These fun clear sculptures ranged from dogs to babies and anything in between. This week the art students of New Technology High are creating their very own
plastic wrap sculptures and placing them around the school in order to learn about space in art.
When asked why Mrs. Smith chose this project she said she thought this would be a fun and creative way to explore space and work together in a way the learners haven’t gotten to before. This is also an opportunity for learners to be able to experience space in a new way and learn how space interacts with others. We went into art to take some pictures to see how artists are coming along with the 
sculptures.
