ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION

ALUMNI ART

ADVANCED 2-D ART

acrylic & oil paint, conte', charcoal, pen & ink, graphite & pastel

I asked Alumni Sarah Oh,

Class of 2018,

to send me a pix of her finished project from Art Center in Pasadena.

I'm not exactly sure what all the criteria was but this was an incredibly challenging assignment 

for a mere Freshman Art Major.

(I'm hoping Sarah will send in a comment and tell us exactly what hoops she had to jump thru)

Anyways I have a similar assignment for my 3rd year level 2-d kids 

in which they pick a famous Master artist,

research their style ,

then try to duplicate it using themselves as their subject matter.

But they only have to pick one Master!

It looks like Sarah had to pick 32.

Thirty two!!!!

You've got to be kidding!!

Did she even sleep for the semester?

And can you identify any of the Masters works here?

Sarah had to duplicate one of their famous portraits then use herself as subject matter

and in the Master Artists style and medium recreate her own portrait.

Of course then it looks like she had to mount them side by side and all together.

I just wonder if she clocked her hours on this assignment?

My current student in the Art III class,

senior Angelica Luza,

only has to pick one Master to research and work from.

And she doesn't have to create one of their originals,

only use herself and do her portrait in that artist's style.

She has picked Edward Hopper.

Can't wait to share it with you sometime next year.

(yes, I'm a year behind schedule posting, still)

Ha ha!

So stay turned.
