Imitate an Artwork Challenge

Hello my name is Ayonti! I’m a freshman was a major in nursing n hopes to one day be a travel NICU nurse. I took art classes in elementary and middle school but this is my first art class since then. I’ve always enjoyed art from simply coloring in a coloring book or taking time out my day to paint. I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. During quarantine I found myself having lots of time on my hands so I started painting simple things that I knew how to draw.
For this image I had to use a scarf, fork, spoon, band aid and a shirt. For the head wrap I used a red scarf that I had, I used my roommates forks and spoon. I had to use a band aid to tape the fork to my face and I used a black shirt for my background. I put my phone on a timer to take the picture for me so I could hold the spoon.
The art was I chose to imitated was a piece by Afarin Sajedi named “Chef Offer 2” created in 2014. I chose this specific piece of art because it was simple and I was limited to my resources because I live in a dorm. It’s a self portrait because it was a picture of me put together by myself.
This project was creative for me because I had to search for things that look most similar to what the girl had on in the picture.
This was a cool project for people when they had to stay home because it gave them something to do while still staying safe. This was created as an assignment for The Getty Museum of Art created the challenge as a way to keep people engaged during the pandemic. This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course.
