Recreate A Famous Painting

Nathan Siket :: class of 2016

For this project you are going to choose one famous painting and recreate it using any interpretation you think would be appropriate. You must approve your choice with me before you begin. You will pass in the recreation along side the original image (as seen in the gallery below). 


Things to think about:

• Choose 1 FAMOUS painting that you are interested in. Think about what is possible for you to do. If you choose a painting of a ship at sea, how will you recreate a sea? You’re going to have to do a lot of preparation for the photograph.
• Think about every little detail. Socked feet are ugly. A pile of clothes in your room is ugly. Get rid of unnecessary objects BEFORE you take the picture.
• Brainstorm with your friends. You will have to set up your space or spaces. Involve your friends/family as models or assistants in the shoot. You most likely won’t be able to accomplish this on your own.
• Remember, natural light or controlled studio light is best.
• You will need to know the artist and the name of the painting
