Create > Studio Activity: Renaissance Remix

Goal:  Create a self-portrait using the rendered space of a Renaissance artwork.

Select a linear perspective Renaissance artwork from a museum on the Google Art Project > http://goo.gl/4GPfh0 .  Re-create the perspective space of the artwork in a way that retains the space but is seen in a completely new and original way.  In addition, you must somehow be included in the scene.  Render the work in any media of choice.

Trigger Mechanisms: Art History, depth, fantasy, remix

Materials:

Paper, pencil, board, acrylic paint

• How did you combine art elements (line, color, shape, texture, value)  to develop art principles? (Unity/variety, balance, emphasis contrast, rhythm, proportion/scale, figure/ground relationship)

• Where are the dominant shapes, forms, colors, or textures that carry expressive significance?
• Why Is the work ordered and balanced or chaotic and disturbing?
• What gives the work its uniqueness?
