George Ohr was a mysterious and odd man. He was born in Bolixi, Mississippi July 12, 1857. His origins are from German. Meaning his parents were German immigrants who came to the United States. George Ohr was interested in various many other trades before finally learning about ceramics. He then became interested. He was an educated clay maker learning in New Orleans from a man named Joseph Meyer (“Wikipedia Contributors, George E. Ohr”). George Ohr became interested in pottery as soon as he started. This article said, “…the life of a potter was the ideal life he had been seeking.” (“George Ohr Pottery Information and History”). When he started making clay he was nonstop producing ceramics and at one point had thousands of clay bowls, …show more content…
His pieces inspire in a way. They give you that thought of anything is possible, and you don't have to be normal to make clay. I have learned that there are many different wheel methods you can use. Such as folding the clay or distorting it in some way other then it is supposed to turn out. I learned that flaws in an artists work might not be flaws. I have noticed that in a art when something is different or unique from other artists work than they are noticed more and are much popular. In the future I will definitely be influenced to put more creativity into my work. It will make me think a lot more of how I can make my artwork and clay pieces different than others, and maybe unique isn't such a bad thing. Changing something up a little bit every once in a while isn't that bad. My perception of ceramic art has changed over the course of this year. Just making clay yourself will make you appreciate another's piece a lot more. Especially if clay pieces are basically perfect you will have a lot of respect for the artist of that clay. Learning about clay artists and the work did is just mind opening to what is possible. My perception has changed in a way that I will always judge a piece by its uniqueness and its ability to astound or make me question it. I'm very glad that when I spotted George Ohr I picked him. What I was very interested in this research was the fact that everyone thought he was

		With his father gone and his mother struggling to keep the family together, Lewis falsified his age and joined the U.S. Navy in 1864 when he was sixteen years old. When the Civil War ended he was honorably discharged and returned to Boston to seek employment. In 1868 he secured a job as an office boy in the Crosby and Gould patent law firm, a company that specialized in helping inventors protect their patents. By closely observing draftsmen at work and reading books on the subject, Latimer taught himself mechanical drawing. He learned to skillfully use the vital tools of the trade, such as T squares, triangles, compasses, and rulers, and mastered the art of drawing to scale.
When the Great Depression hit, he lost many customers, so he had to work on smaller items. These items included miniature models of stepladders and ironing boards, and this, inspired him to make toys. In 1932, Ole Kirk’s shop started to produce wood toys like wooden pull toys, piggy banks, pull toys, cars and trucks, and houses. At first, he didn’t make too much money since it was during the Great Depression. Did you know that farmers traded food for some of his toys? He also made yo-yos, which was a big fad until it became un-popular. Instead of getting rid of the leftover yo-yos, he used them for wheels for cars and trucks. Later on his son Godtfred started to work for him.

Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was born on November 12th 1840 in Paris, France. Very few would dispute the statement that Rodin was the greatest genius in the world of sculpture in the late 19th century. There were very few artists who faced the criticism; slander and personal insults during their lifetimes as was given to Rodin likewise there are few artists who have known such personal glory during their carriers. Rodin's sculpture was so powerful and original that those in control of the art world did not understand him in his day. He was refused admittance into the Ecole des Beaux-Arts three times and was the brunt of many articles criticizing his works. His talent and art was so powerful that despite all of the official disdain he received he was able to overcome these obstacles placed in his path and emerged on the international scene attracting collectors from around the world to his studio seeking his works. Rodin's youth was spent drawing and sculpting at an early age. He spent much of his time at the Louver where he met Antoine Louis Barye. After his three refusals of admission to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts the eighteen-year-old Rodin worked as a craftsman and jewelry maker as well as at other odd jobs. His beloved sister died in 1862, which shook Rodin greatly, and he entered the Fathers of the Saint-Sacrament. It was there that he created his second sculpture, a bust of father Piere-Julien Eynard, his first bust being that of his own father. After two years Rodin reali...
I hope I have answered the question “What was his personal life like?” good in here and would like to summarize by saying that he was able to overcome all odds to become a famous inventor that even had a movie made by him. I would also like to say that He made many, many products that we still use all from simple plants like peanuts in summary to the answer of the question “What did he actually do?”. He also had many hobbies that ended up in helping many people (“What did he like to do when he wasn’t working?”). I have found that this man that I knew nothing about before the report is one of the few real life people I know of that overcame so many things in his life that almost no one even knows
Edward Jenner is often regarded as the “Father of Immunology” for his development of the smallpox vaccine. His remarkable discovery has laid the foundation for future scientists working with immunizations. Jenner’s impact is seen worldwide to this day with the complete eradication of the deadly smallpox virus. Edward Jenner’s Legacy will always live on as the first to vaccinate using a live virus. Vaccines are improving everyday, which benefits the public’s health, all thanks to Edward Jenner.
A healthcare leader I admire in our community is Randy Oostra. He is the president and CEO of ProMedica Health System. The reason I admire him is his communications to the public are sound positive and optimistic. McConnell (2016) describes one characteristic of an effective leader is that “leaders must be walking mission statements who make their visions come alive by talking about them with enthusiasm and conviction.” (p. 187). In my opinion, Randy exudes enthusiasm for improving the community.
Golda Meir was a woman with a lifelong commitment and an unfailing dedication in bringing her dream to a reality. Her dream was for Israel to be a safe homeland for the Jewish nation, including the Zionist Movement, which she wanted people to clearly understand. Zionism served as a strong belief that the Jews should gain their fatherland in Israel that they had lost to the Romans in 70 A.D. Golda Meir never lost sight of this goal, and did countless things for Israel. If only we could have her compassion, strength, courage and intelligence- then would we all be able to make such a perpetual effect on the world’s countries as she did.

This artist has done many works of art that some people just may not seem to understand why it was made. Some people find an interest in certain paintings while others may not find that exact attachment to the painting like others. I have chosen to write about this artist because of the many and beautiful arts of work he has created through many years. Although some I may not find a meaning to or why he would make a piece of art the way he did, they still seem to catch my attention to some.
