Art Recreation

Title: Art Recreation
Description: This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course. The Getty Museum's art challenge was created as a way for people to engage during the pandemic. It was created so that all materials needed could be found at home. I decided to recreate a painting. I used a blue button up shirt from my mom and a tan shirt I already owned for my clothes in the picture. I used two blue pillowcases to wrap around my hair. I had my mom help me take the photograph because I couldn’t get a similar picture with a selfie. The artist whose work I imitated was Zinaida Serebriakova. It was a self-portrait. I chose this artwork because I thought I could recreate it and look similar. I also loved the blue details in the painting. I think this painting is very beautiful, but I do think it was an easy choice. When looking for a painting to recreate I wanted to choose a painting done by a woman. So, when I saw this one, I thought it was perfect and I’d have all the stuff to recreate it at home. I don’t think the painting I chose took very much creativity. If I would’ve chosen a different painting or maybe even a different project option, it could’ve been more creative for me.
