OLD MASTERS REVISITED

The final project calls for students to not only make a large- scale Master copy (4 X 5 ft) but also to include a self portrait somewhere in the composition. In this project, students must think about appropriation and psychology. By choosing a specific painting, we reveal something in our choice. By substituting our image for one of the participants in the painting, we are assuming that role and its symbolism. All these decisions begin to give new context to the painting, thereby transforming its original purpose to align with our intentions. Below are some student examples.
