Bruce Nauman is kind of a confusing artist. One of his projects was building a big uneven staircase, where the meaning of it was not be be used, but to figure out what they could be used for. He also filmed mice in his very messy art studio.
Kerry James Marshall discovered that he wanted to be an artists in the first grade. He was inspired by a scrapbook of greeting cards, magazine clippings, and random photos that his teacher had created. Since then he has been creating art like greeting cards and paintings. He liked making greetings cards for his family, and in his paintings there was usually always a black figure.
Maya Lin is an artist, and an architect. In the movie they showed a project she was working on where she was redoing a park for a town. One thing in the park was an ice rink. She made this ice rink special though by putting lights underneath it to represent a starry night sky.
Louise Bourgeis is an old lady who enjoyed dealing with hands in her artwork. She made sculptures of her hands by putting them in plaster, and then transferring the plater molds into a nice black stone sculpture of her hands. I thought this was an odd type of artwork for an old lady to do.
I think that not all people view my personality or identity the same. Everyone has different perspectives or thoughts about who I am, but in the end, i'm just one single person with one identity and personality. I don't know how i would incorporate that into my next self portrait, but i would probably not just draw it, but add some other materials on it so it was kind of a collage-ish type of thing.
