This is JR.




No one knows his real name. He refers to himself as a photograffeur, which puts
him somewhere between a photographer and a graf ti artist.
JR found a camera on the subway
in Paris and began to take pictures
and make art. His art is always
focused on people, bold, black and
white, and oversized.
JR wants to be anonymous because he wants bring attention to the sub-
jects of his art. He wants to give a voice and a face to those that can’t do
it for themselves. JR likes to work at night. After his artwork is seen, there
is no one to explain it but those that have not been previously heard
JR always chooses certain people for a certain reason.
This is part of his campaign called “Women are Heroes”
in Kenya. He wanted to show the importance of women.
This is “Portraits of a Generation,”
a series based on those living in
Paris housing projects. At the be-
ginning of this project, JR said, “In
the street, we reach people who
never go to museums.”
In 2011, JR was the winner of the TED prize, a $100,00 prize granted to those
who wish to change the world. Past winners include Bill Clinton and Bono and at
the age of 28, JR is the youngest to receive the prize!
JR’s wish is coming true
through a movement called
“Inside Out” where he
invites people to upload
pictures of themselves on
his website. A black and
poster will be sent back
and is encouraged to be
put up as art.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:


Join JR’s art movement and nd a com-
puter and upload a picture of yourself or
someone that you would like to see as art.
Receive a poster and paste it in a public
place where people will see it.

OR

create your own movement and nd an
issue that you would like to call attention
to. Make your own portrait about some-
thing that needs a voice and display it in a
place that is relevant (for older students)
