---portrait of her
--- composition inspired by her
Include 1 - 3 sentences about your work in the private comments when you submit. Explain why you chose to honor the artist
1. Use stuff you have around your apartment to recreate a masterpiece.
2. Send the two separate images, the masterpiece and a photo of your recreation of it
See samples linked below
1. Use Powerpoint/Google Slides/iMovie/Other
• Write your own or use existing poem
• Song lyrics
• Flat colors, photos or art images
(Audio is probably too complicated to consider unless you already have experience with it)
Samples linked below have audio which is not an expectation
1. Find 2 - 3 other students who want to join you to make a group of 3-4
2. Assign parts of the body to each person
• Neck and Head• Shoulders to belly button with arms included• Hips• Legs3. Choose one person who can combine all the images together and hand it in.
Exactly how can you make this all happen without physically being together as a group? That's part of the fun! Figure it out?
PS: You can use your own photos / photos from the Internet too
Or you can make a collage out of colored paper, fabric, found objects, etc!
Photo slide show or video
1. Add other materials too if you would like!
Create a slide show of 8 or more distinctly different abstract photographs that you took yourself
Abstraction takes place when a photographer zooms in one part of a natural scene, isolating it from its surroundings.
The focus of the photograph ends up being about color, texture, line, shape, space, balance, contrast, pattern, etc. and not about the real world and familiar objects.
