Today I was online reading the news and I came across an article that truly sparked my art nerd interests. It was about a Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei.

After reading this short news article about him I wanted to know more. I Googled him and I found an amazing Art21 video. Although I initially started to watch it to learn more about Ai Weiwei, I also was inspired about two other artists. One, Opie, a photographer. I was of course hooked until the end after that. And El Anatsui, a sculptor. I'd highly recommend watching the whole video, but if you just want to watch about Ai Weiwei it starts on chapter 9 in the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
