Hello, here's this month's assignment:
MODERNISING OLD PAINTINGS:
Traditional arts have various histories. Thus, most famous pieces of traditional art are made hundreds of years ago, for example, Mona Lisa (1503), The Starry Night (1889), The Birth of Venus (1486), and Girl with a Pearl Earring (1665). They hold their own sense of beauty, but can seem… outdated nowadays.
As years have passed, beauty standards have changed. Religions, beliefs, and cultures have also had vast changes, inspiring new art as cultures from around the world intermingled, brought by people who travelled to the far corners of the Earth with the works from their culture, inspiring those who saw them.
The general change in architecture, textiles, and fashions have influenced many modern artists to try and ‘modernise’ these historic well-known paintings.
So, let us celebrate classical art with a ‘twist’. Think about and brainstorm, what would the art look like if it was painted by an artist today? How would they differ and why?
Take a famous painting or sculpture and modernise them!
Good Luck!
