This document discusses three artists - William Wegman, who uses his dogs in his artwork; Robert Adams, who captures nature and how it is affected by humans in black and white photographs; and Ai Weiwei, a human rights activist known for sending messages through his art. The author chose to take photos inspired by each artist - a cat in a hat mimicking Wegman's style, concrete cracking at their grandmother's home reflecting Adams' photos of human impact on nature, and a collage of inspirational quotes in the style of Weiwei's messages through art.
