The artist that I viewed while watching Art: 21 was Sally Mann. Sally Mann is a photographer who has done a lot of her work in southern states such as Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, and Georgia. She has done many landscapes, but also uses random 
objects and her children in her work. When she was growing up, she was known as the "wild child" for being carefree. She was the one who valued history and learned from it. She respected where she came fro
m. Her art was intended on being odd and a little weird, but she liked it that way. She enjoyed photographing her kids in the nude. The pictures were seen as innocent and just something that any normal kids would do. She got a lot of negative feedback for her photo decisions because of photographing nude children. She had no "sick" intention with her ideas, she just used her kids because they were present.

I liked the idea of Sally Mann's art, even though she was a nut, but an artist as well. She basically did what any artist did by pushing the buttons of society and making an audience question her own personal ideas.
