“Reimagining a Classic: A Modern Self-Portrait Inspired by Kehinde Wiley”

This project is based off of the American Artist Kehinde Wiley’s work. Wiley often takes old paintings and reworks them with modern subject. The process:
1) Pull up a full screen image of the painting you chose in the last assignment. this is the painting I chose. (Title: Self-Portrait with Death Playing the Fiddle
Creator: Arnold Böcklin) 2) After you have a nice drawing of the original painting then erase the head. ( it cb be an outline, e for effort type of deal) 3) Use the Loomis method we used last week to re-draw the head as your own portrait. Use a mirror or photo of yourself as reference. ( you can draw a brown skin woman with curly hair as me)
4) Make sure the drawing is fully colored. 5) Create a word doc with 3 images. One of the portrait you chose. One of you. Finally, an image of your fully drawn portrait with your head in it.
