I am a nursing major. After college I hope to earn my masters and become a nurse anesthetist, but I would also love to be an army nurse for a little. Some of my interests include hanging out with my friends, volunteering, and hiking. Everyone in my family is very talented with art, except me. I have always loved art and I love seeing what my mom and my sister can do, but it doesn’t come very easy to me.
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. I got one of my friends to help me with this makeup process. This was good because of COVID- there was nothing that I had to go out and buy. I have never been very good at makeup, and she loves to do it. Most of the gold “flakes” are eyeshadow, and she tried to make it look as realistic as possible. She took the photo, and I edited it a little bit to make it look a little better. I used photoshop to add in the gold on the left. This painting, Tears of Gold, was painted by Anne Marie Zimmerman, but it is more famously known with Gustav Klimt. He tended to use gold leaf in a lot of his paintings after 1900, so she ended up being influenced by his style. Zimmerman and Klimt were very good friends, but it was mostly her who painted it. It was created in 1862. I chose this artwork because I was drawn to it the second I saw it. I thought that this piece would be incredibly fun to recreate, and it is overall beautiful. Even though it was also pretty easy to recreate, I mostly chose it because of its aesthetic appeal. This project ended up being incredibly creative for me. I have never been good at makeup, and even something this simple was stepping out for me.
