Something a little different this week. Think about all of the works of art we've looked at this Semester that represent people: Think of the Mona Lisa or American Gothic, for example.  I would like for you to try to recreate one or more of them using photography.

So, imagine recreating Da Vinci's Mona Lisa...You could dress in a similar way to her, recreate the background, and pose like she did, etc.. as closely to the original painting as possible....then capture it using photography.

There are all kinds of famous paintings to choose from, Ex:  Girl with a pearl earing (Johannes Vermeer), American Gothic (Grant Wood), Whistler's Mother (James McNeill Whistler), The Screem (Edvard Munch), Self Portrait (Van Gogh), etc..

So... 

1. Choose a famous portrait. Look closely at it.

2. Determine what items you will need to re-create it (clothing, props, background etc.)

3. Re-create the image and photograph yourself (or a willing participant!).

Send me the results! doug.trevors@nbed.nb.ca
