Performance Video Artists

We were tasked to find and write about performance artists so here it goes.

For my first artist, I guess a major one would be Miley Cirus. She's a person who is consistently seen as acting out or is always making headlines with some outrageous action or outfit. I think she's a performance artist because what she claims to be doing is making art. Art is anything that the artist makes it out to be so if she claims that her actions and her stunts are art, then it's art.

Another artist who is no longer with us would without a doubt be Robin Williams. Robin Williams is someone who constantly used his art and performance skills to entertain people both on the set and in his normal life. There are many instances where he has used his Mrs. Doubtfire costume to fool and confuse people on his gender and identity. 

Yoko Ono is the other artist I would pick as a well know performance artist. She has done and continues to do performance art as a way of showing her thoughts and as a way of protesting touchy subjects to the public. One can simply search the Internet and in a matter of moments find something about her or one of her many performances.
