Imitation of Old Man Guitarist

Description

The Getty Museum started a challenge to imitate famous artworks as a way for people to engage during the pandemic, so I chose one by Pablo Picasso. This was created as an assignment for Susan Ludeke's ART 1910: Art Appreciation course. This was all virtual so there was no need to leave my house. I am currently in the Ribn program at ECU. It is a dual enrollment with Pitt Community College and ECU. The Ribn program is a nursing program that allows you to get first you ADN and then your BSN. This is my second year in Ribn and I am glad to have made it this far. I have heard many good things about the nursing career and I wish to do the best job I can. Some of my interests are film and music. I enjoy all types of film and all types of music. But some of my favorite types of films are mystery film. Plot twists are usually the best part of the mystery film. All the little hints that are given throughout the film and in the end you are left surprised asking why you couldn’t have saw the end coming. I believe film has an artistic aspect to it. Just like portraits made by famous artists, the films can have deeper meanings and themes that are portrayed by the director. The artwork imitated in this project is The Old Guitarist by Pablo Picasso. It was made in late 1903 and early 1904. For inspiration I searched any portraits that I knew I would be able to recreate. I also had a guitar in my room which was very convenient for this project. I had to get my brother to take the photo because doing a selfie would be a lot harder. This project required creativity to try and imitate the photo the best I could. I also added filters to my photo to give it a cool bluish tone. The original artwork was aesthetically appealing because of how the old man is shown with emotion and the color scheme used backed that up.
