Hi, so my name is Niyah Bacon, and yes like the food. I am technically a freshman but in the system, I am currently a sophomore at the university. I am currently pursuing Accounting as my major and I plan on being a CPA in the future. I don’t necessarily have a background in art besides the required classes that everyone takes throughout your K-12 school experience. I do like to think a hobby and passion of mine could be considered as art, I love doing hair, and I also plan on becoming a cosmetologist during college or after. I feel like hair can be a way of art and a stylist has to be creative in their own way to create a certain style or to work with multiple types of hair. My first thing was what is something I can find that I could possibly create. I wanted to think outside the box but also work with what I have in the house. So I picked the photo I wanted to use and then I set up the background first. I took two of my dining room chairs and stacked them up. I then had to ask my mother for help getting my ‘model’ to stay still for the pose. I also used my dog’s toy as the crown and his vest to match the outfit in the painting. I don’t know who the painting is by due to where the painting is from but my mom purchased it from T.J Maxx. I first was definitely stumped for a few days but then I looked at the picture that’s been in the dining room and had a lightbulb moment. It wasn’t the easiest to recreate but it made sense to do it because I love dressing my dog up so I did as such. This project showed how creative true artists are and how the thinking process can be and it’s very creative to think of a piece and make it. This project while we are still in a pandemic shows how you can make anything out of anything. It definitely is a good way to keep those creative juices flowing and throw something new into your day as this pandemic might have some feeling life is a blur and repetitive. This Getty Museum Challenge was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course. The Getty Museum of Art created the challenge to keep people connected during the pandemic.
