Tableau Vivant
I chose to recreate the above image due to its unique appearance and the components that it is made up of. It depicts a black woman in the ancient eras who have been dressed up in a brown robe that reveals a part of her left shoulder. Her hair has been neatly done, and she has some brown shoes. She is in a relaxed pose with her right hand pointing upwards and her left arm pointing downwards. She has been supported by a clay made foundation to make her posture firm. Recreation of this artwork will give me various skills of art interpretation. I will also acquire skills in the selection of colors and lighting to lighten up the art piece. It will also be used to show the meaning of the artwork.
In the recreation of the painting, I will use myself as the portrait. First of all, to represents the skin color of the artwork; I will use back pants and a black shirt that covers the whole of my body. I will then use a brown shawl to stand in for the robe illustrated in the painting. I will fold it in a manner that it leaves my left shoulder and arms open. For the decorations at the waistline of the robe, I will use my belt; it will also hold the shawl in place for the demonstration. To illustrate the string that cuts across the left arm of the sculpture, I will also use a different belt similar to the one on the art. To represent the face of the painting, I will use my sister’s doll, which represents a feminine gender.
Furthermore, the doll has colorful curly hairs that resemble the one on the art painting. I would modify the look by wearing a hat on; the hat symbolizes the modern days we are living in, given that the art was created way back. I will also modify the shoes depicted on the artwork to give it a modern, appealing look. I will use my pair of boots to illustrate it. To lay the foundation, the artwork has been molded on; I will use our kitchen stool so. It will enhance the appearance of my re-created artwork. Moreover, I will change the lighting of the artwork from a dark background to a brighter and clear background. It will enhance the appearance of the painting.
Recreation of the artwork gave me an insight into the more profound understanding of work. I learned how to apply the different lightings in art creation to modify artwork to bring out meaning. I attained the skills of various color choices in the creation of art. A mixture of primary and secondary colors to achieve a precise look for the painting is a great idea. An art piece should contain a theme color for this case; the color was brown. I altered a few pieces of the art like including a hat and shoes used in the art to modify it to a modern era. Art recreation is a beneficial aspect as it keeps the mind occupied, and one gains knowledge through it.
