New Assignment: Remake a Classic Work of Art

Hello Students,
Your next assignment is an exercise in planning, preparation, creativity with location and costume and direction of your model. The idea with this project is to remake a classic work of art using photography.

Remake A Classic Work of Art With Photography:

  • Look through the examples and links below for clarification and inspiration
  • Research and find a classic work of art that inspires you. Your final choice of artwork to remake must be approved by your instructor before proceeding.
  • Keep it classic, think old masters. Im not looking for contemporary artwork, album covers, fashion photography or cinematic references
  • Final result is a photo only, no color correction, cropping or special effects allowed. If you do it correctly the majority of work happens before you take the picture
  • Put all of your creative energy into the arrangement and recreation of elements. Pay attention to costume, color, light, position, framing, facial expression etc... the key is in the details.
  • Elements of your choice of artwork can be re-imagined of course. Strive for recreation of details with whatever you have available

Grading:
This project will be evaluated on your ability to meet the requirements as well as the intention of the assignment. Your work should show careful planning and execution. You are the artist with a vision and it is your responsibility to direct your costume, scene, model and props to achieve your desired results.
