Old Masters Project

In art history, "Old Master" (or "old master") refers to any painter of skill who worked in Europe before about 1800, or a painting by such an artist. An "old master print" is an original print (for example an engraving or etching) made by an artist in the same period.

Examples of OLD MASTER ARTISTS (not limited to):

STEP 1:  Review OLD MASTERS paintings. Find a few that you would be inspired to recreate

STEP 2: Choose 1, Sketch out your plan.  Choose models, costumes, lighting, etc.  Discuss your plan with the teacher

STEP 3: Take the photographs, view them, edit them, critique them.  Decide if you need to edit/re-shoot

STEP 4: Critique with the whole class

STEP 5: Reflection: Why is it important to study the "Old Masters"?
