Title: Portrait of Madame Matisse . The Green Line
Artist: Henri Matisse
Re-creator: Kirsten Nguyen
The artwork I chose to recreate is called Portrait of Madam Matisse, The Green Line. It depicts Henri's wife, Amélie Matisse in a powerful, expressive way which utilizes intense colors and contrast. To recreate this artwork, I painted pieces of paper to match the background with the help of my sisters. I then proceeded to paint my face with gouache. Overall it was fun to experiment with fun colors and a 3D surface, but not so fun to wash off!

Title: Boy With a Basket of Fruit, c. 1593
Artist: Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio
Re-creator: Isaac H.
What's interesting about this painting is how it completely went against the accepted "standards" of painting in the 16th century. from the boy's gaze fixed on the painter (indicating artifice) to the hyperrealism of the basket and fruits within, this painting is full of contradictions. it is simultaneously a still life and a portrait, a clear rebellion against the era's imposed hierarchy of genres (with history being the most important and still life being at the bottom of the barrel). this painting mixes many genres, with the still life in the basket and fruit, the portrait in the boy, and the history in the mythological allusions to the bible, bacchus, etc. it's a cool painting :D recreating it was pretty easy i just needed a white shirt and a basket of fruit. i had to take this on a self-timer which was kind of annoying because that basket was deceptively heavy.

Title: The Son of Man
Artist: Rene Magritte
Re-Creator: Zoë C (ft. my brother)
The Son of Man was painted as a self-portrait by Magritte in 1946. According to Magritte, the painting was meant to play on the viewer's, and ultimately human's, curiosity. In the painting, Magritte had the apple obscure the man's face to draw on a person's innate desire or conflict to see what is hidden, even if there is something visible before them. I replicated this piece with the help of my sister and brother. While my brother posed in a suit, my sister held the apple using a string and a stick. In the background, I stuck stuffing into the window panes to resemble the clouds in the original painting.

Title: The Music Lesson
Artist: Gerard ter Borch
Re-creator: Chase Varga
This artwork follows the traditional 17 century Dutch style depicting a music lesson with the seated figure playing the lute, and an instructor keeping time with their hand with a bass beside them. Many of the objects in this paining are meant to symbolism some kind of love: the dog to represent loyalty, the foot warming box for comfort, the bass for the duet nature of their performance and so on. Borch has oven repeated these motifs, painting a total of 11 lute themed paintings. In making the recreation, I was lucky in having fairly analogous substitutes. I moved my desk and dinner table chairs, draped with plaid sewing fabric to emulate the table depicted in the painting. I used an acoustic guitar for the bass and a ukulele for the lute. I really wanted to use my own dog to be the sleeping dog on the chair, yet comprised with my dog's squirrel toy as hes much to big.

Title: Interior with an Easel, Bredgade 25
Artist: Vilhelm Hammershøi
Re-creator: Eecho Y.
This oil painting by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi (1864-1916) caught my while browsing through paintings on the Getty website. The painting was a depiction of his apartment and studio at Bredgade 25 in Copenhagen. I chose to recreate it because I really liked the color and texture of the painting, and it reminded me of the area outside my house's study. I placed my easel and canvas in front of the half-open doors of the room and took multiple pictures. Because of the staircase, I wasn't able to include all the parts in one picture, so I rearranged the pictures in a more creative manner to create a more accurate recreation of Hammershøi's painting.

Title: Home Bathing
Artist: Kusakabe Kimbei
Re-creator: Lucas
This pieces was created in Japan via hand-colored albumen silver print between the 1870s and 1890s. This image depicts a Japanese woman bathing in a tub and others around her in a bathhouse. I used barbies, a mug, and various small objects like lids and a q tip as props to recreate this photo. I first found barbies that are most flexible to position them in sitting positions like the first and third women in the photo, then I found a doll that was small enough to fit in the cup well, and then I found one that could be standing. I tied their hairs, dressed them, gave them small objects that matched their accessories in the photo, and positioned them as accurately as I could, with the help of some tape. I took the picture and finally desaturated it to match the muted color scheme of the original.

Title: A Hare in the Forest
Artist: Hans Hoffmann
Re-creator: Francesca Piccioni
I recreated A Hare in the Forest by Hans Hoffmann. I chose this piece because a rabbit was featured, and I love rabbits. The re-creation took place in my front yard by my jacaranda tree. I included a brown blanket to represent the dirt in the painting, and made sure the tree and bush are visible in the background. My rabbit, Donovan, represents the hare surrounded by grass. I learned the painting was created around 1585 in Germany. It was inspired by Albrecht Dürer's watercolor artwork. Unlike Dürer's painting of a hare, Hans Hoffmann included surrounding forest elements.

Title:
Artist: Hippolyte Bayard
Re-creator: Angelina O.
When researching this piece I learned that Hippolyte Bayard was an early inventor of photography. While he made this piece he decided to lay together various fabrics, paints, and feathers. As his canvas, he used normal writing paper coated with iron and salts, then dried. When I was recreating his work I used old objects laying around the house that was mainly washed-out whites and some leaves. I also added some small feathers I found around my couch.

Title: The Virgin Mary with Saints Thomas Aquinas and Paul
Artist: Bernardo Daddi
Re-creator: Keller E.
Part of why I chose this painting to recreate was that Saint Paul, the figure on the right, is holding a sword. Later on, there was a Christ Child added in the front of the painting on the parapet, with a different style. It was made with gold leaf as detail that gives the impression of solid gold in order to honor the figures depicted. In order to recreate this painting, I used blankets, a book, a fake painting frame, a roll of wrapping paper and various clothes I had on hand to recreate the wardrobes of the depicted figures. I used Snapchat's sticker features in order to duplicate myself into the 3 figure's positions.

Title: Still Life with Apples and Pitcher
Author: Camille Pissarro
Re-creator: Paige F.
The creator of the painting, Camille Pissarro, has created many different paintings throughout his career. He paints a lot of landscape photos yet he only painted a few still-lives, like this one. When looking through the different works of art, this painting stood out to me because I had a bunch of apples. I also liked the simplicity of the painting. When I was putting the objects together, I was making sure that I had something either exact or similar to the objects in the painting.

Title: The Annunciation (1450-55)
Artist: Dietic Bouts
Re-creator: Daly G.
This painting was made as part of a five-piece series depicting the life of Jesus, because in the Renaissance subject matter for finished paintings was usually royalty or religion. It was created with distemper, an ancient paint that is cheap, but very weak and can be washed away easily, so it is rare that a piece lasts as long as this one has. In typical religious Renaissance fashion, emotion and intent is expressed through hand positions rather than actual face expressions; Mary's raised hands show surprise, and Gabriel is pointing towards God to tell Mary that she may be a virgin, but she's having a kid anyway. To recreate this painting, you must gather: several blankets, one of them red; a small table (a trashcan can work in a pinch); a scrap of blue fabric (mine was left over from a horse Halloween costume); and a sibling who is willing to be humiliated for grades.

Title: Imaginary Insect, Tulip, Spider, and Common Pear
Artist: Joris Hoefnagel
Re-creator: Lars G.
Imaginary Insect, Tulip, Spider, and Common Pear is piece made by Joris Hoefnagel and Georg Bocskay in Vienna throughout the mid to late 1500s. One interesting fact about this painting/drawing is that it was opriginally created in the mid 1500s, yet was then completed with illumination in the late 1500s, meaning this piece spanned about 30 to 40 years in its creation. In order to replicate this piece, I started with some rustic string along with metal electric connections in order to create the top, unique text. I chose to use two small tangerines and a large, crumpled, and shaped piece of stuffing paper in order to create the pears and the tulip, I gave the tulip a green colored pencil stem, and used drill bits in order to replicate the line that come down from the text. I then used four two-sided nails to create the spider, using a small bolt for the body and another drill bit as its web. I then finally used an old electric motor of some sort, along with some short screws to replicate the imaginary insect.

Title: Still Life with Oranges
Artist: Henri Matisse
Re-creator: Liana X.
Original painting is 'Still Life with Oranges' by Henri Matisse in 1898. There was supposed to be a Still Life with Oranges II, but Matisse never finished it for some reason. The painting is part of the Fauvism movement, where Henri Matisse was one of the most important figures. There wasn't too much of a problem finding most of the items, but my house only had 3 oranges left and no raised vessels. In the end, I had to flip through the drawers to find a knife with a lighter-colored handle. I ended up just putting a plate on top of a bowl for the raised bowl thing. It was also a bit of a hassle to come up with something to put to the left of the raised bowl thing (it seemed to be meat?), but pasta was about the right color.

Title: Study of a Mourning Woman
Artist: Michaelangelo Buonarroti
Re-creator: Galina K.
Michaelangelo's 'Study of a Mourning Woman' was painted with white opaque watercolor, it documents michaelangelo's shift from his youthful studies to his iconic independent works, notably the Florentine Battle of Cescina, mural project of c. 1504. I decided to use a sheet because that is similar to the artwork and I believed was the best recreation of it. This artwork was meant to resemble the renaissance era because the woman appears to be dressed in a full-length robe worn by women of antiquity as depicted in renaissance paintings.

Title: Motherhood
Artist: Meadow Gist
Re-creator: Nirel B.
This is Meadow Gist’s “motherhood”. Her paintings are inspired by the Russian Impressionists, and she paints scenes from daily life. When I saw a picture of this painting I really loved it, but I don’t have any younger siblings so I descuides to use my dog as a model. I also used my mother’s clothes and attached a blue ribbon to my dads hat to recreate the outfit that the woman is wearing.

Title: Pearblossom Hwy
Artist: David Hockney
Re-creator: Amelia M.
I chose Pearblossom Hwy. by David Hockney. This artwork stood out to me because it was very bright and I like the western design and colors he used. Something that was difficult in the process was finding materials that were not to big and not to small and also looked good. Also finding the right colors of the materials was a challenge. I liked this project and enjoyed how it turned out.

Title: "Lady Playing a Lute"
Artist: Bartolomeo Veneto
Re-creator: Nora H.
For my project, I chose to recreate Bartolomeo Veneto's painting "Lady Playing a Lute". Bartolomeo Veneto was an Italian painter who painted this piece in about 1530. The painting is done with oils on a panel rather than canvas. This painting is one in a series of paintings Veneto created of an unidentified woman playing a lute (which is occasionally substituted for a wheel). I thought recreating the pose and the objects in the picture would be simple since I had all the materials, but I also found I had to get creative when it came to the recreation of the lady's unique attire. I also found out later that I had missed some detail as further research on the original showed that the lady had a "creature" draped over her left arm.

Title: Lise in a White Shawl
Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Re-creator: Niki H.
Lise in a White Shawl by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a portrait of Lise Tréhot, one of Renoir’s favorite models. Art historians believe that this painting may have been a wedding gift for Tréhot. To re-create this portrait, I used household objects that I found during quarantine. I used a white shawl, gold hoop earrings, a black blazer, as well as a white dress shirt that I borrowed from my brother and a red ribbon I found lying around my house. I found this portrait by using a feature on the Google Arts & Culture app that finds look-a-like paintings through taking a selfie.

Title: Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
Artist: Vincent van Gogh
Re-creator: Hannah S.
Vincent Van Gogh drew this artwork of the seascape in his trip at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, henceforth the name of the piece. Within the paint layers of the original work are grains of sand that got carried through the wind. He expressed that the ocean’s colors were like mackerel, constantly changing, in different hues of color and how the reflection of light played with your eyes: blue to green to purple, and hints of white from the splashes of waves. I illustrated these erratic moods of the sea through varying colors of gift wrapping tissue, their uneven placement representing the ever-moving ocean. I set up the background against my brother’s room’s blue-green wall, and stuck cotton pads and stuffings on it as the clouds. To finalize the scenery, I stationed origami ships on the “water,” and finished my own mini Getty Museum Challenge!

The Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa is a Japanese woodblock print published in 1831. It shows a giant wave in the foreground, and Mount Fuji is in the distance in the background. I recreated this art with two blue cloths and paper to create the water, and a wood block and colored pencil to create the two boats.

Title: Study of a Mourning Woman
Artist: Michelangelo Buonarroti
Re-creator: Whitney S.
The drawing that I had recreated was called “Study of a Mourning Woman” drawn by Michelangelo Buonarroti. To recreate the drawing I used a wooden mannequin and posed it like the lady in the picture. The arms wouldn’t go that close to the face so I had to tie a string around the hand attaching it to the head to get them closer. For the clothing I used old cloth that I had found and sewed it to fit the mannequin. The cloth was a little lose so I used twine to keep it on him. And finally for the hood I had used pieces of white ribbon and attached it to the clothes in the back.

Re creator: Leili D.
Overall this assignment was very fun. It forced the re-creator to think outside of the box and be innovative. It’s very interesting how you can take everyday house hold items and transform them into something else. I would recommend this activity to any families who are bored and want something different and fun to do. My process was I first looked through all the possible pieces to choose from. Then after choosing a piece, I found a neutral area to set up on. I gradually began adding items and arranging them. Finally, I took the photo. All in all, it was a innovative and enjoyable assignment .

Title: Irises
Artist: Vincent Van Gogh
Re-creator: Emma C.
The title of the original piece was “Irises” by Vincent Van Gogh. Some interesting facts I learned about the artpiece was that it was made with oil paint on canvas and was painted in 1889. I also learned that Van Gogh created this piece in the last year of his life, he painted this piece while in the asylum’s ,that he chose to enter, garden. I recreated “Irises” by using flowers and leaves I found from my own backyard. I tried to find flowers similar in color to the irises but the ones I found were slightly too purple and pink. I started positioning the flowers by referencing a picture of “Irises” I found online. I used purple/pink flowers to represent the irises and orange and yellow flowers to represent the orange flowers and the orange dirt. Then I got green leaves to be the stems of the irises, finally I put all of it on a white paper so I could put them all together.

Title: Liberty Leading the People
Artist: Eugene Delacroix
Re-creator: Ben T.
The piece I decided to parody was one of French Romanticist, Eugene Delacroix’s famous paintings, “Liberty leading the people”. It’s associated with the French revolutions where France’s people rose up against King Charles X who attempted to restore an old regime the French people didn’t want. It symbolizes both freedom and revolution both in a literal meaning as well as artistically. At the time painters generally obeyed rules of the academy, stressing the mastery of drawing. Whereas Delacroix often emphasized the use of color in an unobstructed way. The French Revolution was a time full of anti-establishment thinking and due to the revolutionary war thoughts of freedom to the individual. Which for my photo is sorta ironic since the models I used to represent “liberty” and the people following was a bunch of mindless metal skeletons who follow the commands of their overlord (the guy with the scythe). Each having no free will of their own.

Title: Saint Paul Rending His Garments
Artist: Raffaello Sanzio
Re-creator: Liz X.
The artwork I recreated today is the Saint Paul Rending His Garments by Rafael (Raffaello Sanzio). I learned that this drawing is of Saint Paul ripping his garments out of anger. The way he’s standing and facial expression shows his anger. This drawing was made in 1515. Rafael was ordered by Pope Leo X to make drawings to hang in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.

Title: The Peppermint Bottle
Artist: Paul Cézanne
Re-creator: Karina A.
The Peppermint Bottle is a still life created by Paul Cézanne and was created in 1893-1895. It is an oil painting on a canvas. Paul Cézanne was a post-impressionist painter in the 19th century that greatly influenced the art style of the 20th century. I recreated this painting by using apples and pears. I also used a white blanket but I couldn't find a blue blanket that matched the one in the painting so I used one of my shirts.

Title: Mona Lisa
Artist: Leonardo da Vinci
Re-creator: Meijia H.
In this artwork, there is a woman smiling mysteriously. But one fun fact about this is Mona Lisa is not her name. Also, her eyebrows have been discussed by many people saying this is an unfinished artwork. However, the conclusion of this argument still remains unclear. This artwork is priceless now because it is so precious and no one can ever make something like this again. By the way, just a fun story of why I choose to copy Mona Lisa. I choose to copy this art because in my eighth grade student ID photo, my family and my friends thinks this photo looks really alike to Mona Lisa. So I decided to do this art for My project.

Title: Irises
Artist: Vincent Van Gogh
Re-creator: Darius Y.
The painting I chose to recreate was Irises by Vincent Van Gogh. The painting takes place in Saint-Rémy, France in 1889. During this time, Vincent Van Gogh was in an asylum where he created nearly 130 paintings before his death a year later. For my recreation, I used fuzz balls that I had in my art supplies which I used to create the flowers and surrounding green area. I used spinach leaves as the stems of the flowers. I used ground coffee as the dirt surrounding the flowers.

When people look at my picture, I want them to feel the happiness radiating from both my bunny and myself! Small things are important in quarantine, such as loving your pets, spending time with them, and taking them outside in your backyard if you have the chance. Finding happiness can be hard, especially during a time like this. Doing this challenge gave both my mom and I a bunch of giggles, as my bunny, Noel, didn’t wanna hold still for the photo. I’d highly recommend trying this challenge for anyone who sees my photo!

Title: The cellist
Artist: Edwin Holgate
Re-creator: Paisley J.
While doing this project, I had a lot of fun searching through famous artworks. I ended up choosing The Cellist by Edwin Holgate because I have a family of musicians and thought it would be fun to incorporate one of them in my assignment. We used a broom as the bow and the cello as a guitar.

Title: Augustus of Prima Porta
Artist: Uknown
Re-creator: Gilmer W.
Originally this recreation was intended for a recent project I’m in my conservatory so if you need me to create a new piece I’d be happy to. This recreation is of a marble sculpture titled Augustus of Prima Porta and depicts the titular Caesar. It shows him in his military uniform and presents him as a divine figure as seen with the cherub by his side. I had limited resources to recreate this and thought it would work best to simply act as a model for the piece. I put a tank top over a white t-shirt to suggest the military outfit. I used a large, white blanket to simulate the toga-like garb he’s holding and I used the faded white clown statue from my back yard as the cherub.

Title: Dog and Bear
Artist: Unknown Italian artist
Re-creator: Liam R.
I chose to recreate two statues that are housed at the Getty, called Dog and Bear (because they have no official title). The original artist is unknown, but it was created in Italy, most likely in Florence. I learned a lot about Renaissance-era Italy from the Getty's description of the work. For example, in the original statue, the dog has a spiked collar to represent the sport of bear-baiting. However, compared to the sport's background as being violent, the artist made the statues look calm on purpose. The process of re-creating the statues were pretty straightforward. All I had to do was put my dog in the same pose as the statue and put her toy (the unicorn) next to her, though it took a couple of tries to get her in the right position because of the heat. Overall, I accomplished a pretty lighthearted recreation of the original statues that represents our culture while quarantined.

Title: The Caress

Re-creator: Zami H.
If my artwork was in the gallery I want people to understand just how abstract things can be. Abstract meaning you can create or assume anything out of nothing. I don’t necessarily want the audience to make the connection between my creation and the actual image. I want them to come up with whatever they think it is. I want them to tap into their mind and figure out what it could be. This piece mean a sign of growth to me. It’s not perfect but there are definitely some things that could be done differently. For example, better resources to incorporate into my piece.

Title: Still Life with Apples
Artist: Paul Cezanne
Recreator: Evan Z.
To begin, I chose this piece because it had many household objects. First, the apples are recreated using the apples, and the wine bottle is made with a wine bottle. For some of the things like teacups, I had to use a regular cup and a plate stacked on top of it. I did similar things for some of the other objects. To make the cloth that goes under, I used a pillowcase and a towel.

Title: Saint Jerome
Artist: Caravaggio
Re-creator: Gilmer W.
It’s based on a baroque painting by Caravaggio known as Saint Jerome Painting. For this recreation, I again turned to a live photography. I felt this would capture the image more accurately, especially since I own a table that looks just like the one in the painting. While somewhat easy to organize, the photo had to be edited for lighting and to blacken out the background.

Snip-- the sound of scissors cutting away. Scissors, held by some higher power, which sever our connections. Scissors which prod the mind without cease--interact, interact, but you can't. As the scissors cut, reality blurs. Our routine of faces becomes a routine of pixels. An aperture or a trap? But what choice do we have? And so through these pixels we reach as the scissors keep snipping, intangible hands grasping in the dark--grasping for another soul who, too, is lost.

I chose option number 2. For this art piece I had to pick a theme. I picked the them of how I implement selfcare. It’s a drawing a surfer and for me this is how I keep myself sane. Surfing gives me something to look forward to and motivates me to get up and be productive to I can then reward my self with a peaceful and much needed surf. Surfing relates to self care because part of self care means maintaining you happiness and motivation and surfing is what personally does this for me. I am so thankful that the beaches are reopened so I can keep up with my self care.

This drawing visualizes the predicable cycle that my life has to an extent fallen into. Inspired by my most rigorous class right now, digital electronics, the cycle is represented as a circuit. The power source is shown as my bed, where I "recharge" every night. Different activities such as drawing and biking are put in parallel, showing the limited variation of activities. The day winds down with dinner, sometimes a game of Catan, then Netflix. The cycle then repeats, through the bed as the power source.
Artist: Calvin P. |
For this piece I tried to take as much inspiration from the city of London from about 1850ish. I decided to choose this time period as I've been playing video games that have zones that look a shocking amount like this area, such as Marlybone in Wizard 101 which draws a significant amount of art style, architecture and character design form this time period and place. Another reason is that I'm rereading Pride and Prejudice and am constantly reminded about details of the world that Jane Austen created, and I have had an idea for what it might have looked like but haven't had a reason to draw anything before today.

I would want people to know that throughout this entire quarantine I have been deathly bored. There are only a select few things that i can do, which includes sketching, watching anime, and playing video games. There isn't people anything else to do in my house other than that. I hope it is over soon
