For my final project, I recreated a bronze cast bird created during the Shang Dynasty of China (11th century BCE). The bird was originally designed to be a chariot finial. I was drawn to the bold gesture and form of the work and decided to recreate it in paint. This was the first time that I have endeavored to recreate a three dimensional work in paint, and I definitely struggled with certain aspects but learned a lot about the process and appreciated the time to study such an impressive, elegant work.
I have created a slide show of the original work and my own work, as well as my thoughts about what did and did not work. The link is as follows: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1-FwmDE9JREPv0lc1ihSdZB0jmXAcq-AUzEQA5DDgiVQ/edit?usp=sharing.
I look forward to seeing what everyone else chooses to recreate for this project!-
Whoops, I forgot to post my paper as well.
Here’s the link for that: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11zP8TsIjBis3c_s9hm_-ptq7L9GaCaT566sWPNfZ5pk/edit?usp=sharing

I crafted the Venus of Willendorf out of cookie dough for the final project. The figurine is one of the oldest pieces of art, dating back to paleolithic times. Although its exact purpose is not known with any certainty, many believe it to have been a fertility statue. Its unique shape and place in society earn it much recognition. For these reasons and more, I chose the figurine to recreate. The art piece and my adaptation are further explained in my essay and presentation.

For my final project, I attempted to draw an old bronze statue sculpted by the Etruscans during the 5th-4th century BCE, called the Chimera of Arezzo. Though this piece is not currently in our classes museum, I did research on it and worked on it for my second grant proposal. The mythological creature of the chimera fascinated me, so I wanted to work with it once again for our final. The drawing is a mixture of photoshop and my own art, so the medium is quite different from the original. Here are the links for my paper and slideshow:

For my final project, I decided I wanted to recreate the Mask of Tutankhamun with watercolor. I’ve always thought this mask was really cool, and I was excited to paint it! Here are the links:

For my final project, I drew the Snake Goddess. I was originally interested in trying to draw Alkyoneus the Giant being slain by Athena on the Pergamon Altar’s east frieze because it seemed like a fun challenge, but my printer would cooperate so I went with my next choice. But I had a lot of fun drawing the Snake Goddess and wanted to try and make her look a little more like an actual snake goddess since I feel like the original doesn’t quite give that feeling.

Based off of the quality of your depiction of the Snake Goddess, I would have liked to see the Alkyoneus the Giant being slain by Athena on the Pergamon Altar’s east frieze, and I’m curious as to what you would have changed about that, if anything.

For my final art project, I choose the Mask of Warka. I found this piece captivating when we studied it earlier, so I thought this would be an interesting piece to replicate. As I am not the most artistic person, I thought clay would be interesting and a bit forgiving, however as I am on a budget for this I attempted to create my version in Play-Doh. Yay for having kiddos!!!

For my final project I recreated the ‘Votive Figures’ from Sumeria, using ‘The Palette of King Narmer’ and ‘Menkaure and a Queen’ as inspiration of a fictional reality if Egypt wasn’t a territorial civilization and conquered the Near East.

I took a little different approach in that I took a modern day image of Blue Babe at the UAF museum and transposed it with Procreate to create a new image of him as a Minoan Bull. I decided to learn and use Procreate at the same time as I was finishing this for a final. Not sure I would take that on again. Enjoy here is the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/10TlPLjgyXSjdkg_MA2q-fOTufC59tW1o/view?usp=sharing

Bob, I like your take on the bull! It’s definitely a creative way to try and recreate it. Is there anything you wish you would’ve done differently while you were working on it or were you pretty happy with it throughout the entire process? Was Procreate pretty easy to navigate or did it get a little frustrating?

Here is my final project. I chose to recreate the Bronze man and centaur from the Geometric time period in the mid-8th century. The original piece was made from bronze and I recreated it out of clay I use in my ceramics course. The original man and centaur were changed into two females and the fighting sculpture was changed into the women embracing. I thoroughly enjoyed this process and working with a new medium to recreate an ancient art sculpture.

For my final project I created a digital painting of the Woman of Willendorf dressed as Tinkerbell. My paper is a rant about how these things are connected, enjoy.

Haha this is my favorite! Excellent work, very clean. Obviously you have experience with digital art! I love the contrast between the texture of the clothing and the stone skin. Nice job 🙂

Re: Raven
I loved your piece! I also chose to recreate Venus of Willendorf, so it was really cool to see a different interpretation. You did a fantastic job of combining the two figures (both artistically and in your reasoning behind the choice). Very nice! -

I decided to do my final project on the great pyramids. I did a drawing of the pyramids than used colored sugared for the coloring than attempted to make it look like a portrait.

For my final project I decided to recreate a the Bronze Statuette of a Veiled and Masked Dancer. To do this I opted to make a video. I posted it to my youtube account, so you should be able to easily access it. There is a photo of the original work of art on the paper– for reference. Enjoy! (:

I enjoyed working on this project a lot! One thing that I really like about the technique I used is that it isn’t too difficult to make something that looks really cool, and that contributes something different to the original piece. Several image filters exist to automatically create something akin to my recreation (for instance posterize) but I think ultimately having a human making decisions about what lines to include and which tones to fill with creates a far more interesting effect. All in all, very fun! I hope you enjoy what I created too.

For my final project I chose to paint the Aphrodite of Melos using acrylics on canvas. I didn’t intentionally choose colors based on symbolism, but I ended up doing some research on it and it turned out so good. Here is a link to my Google Drive folder with my paper, presentation, a video where I talk about the project, and an image of the finished painting.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HBACObD8zL2OtEZXyZCKzdN0mzLUGFef/view?usp=sharingI had so much fun doing this. I did a recreation of the Nike of Samothrace, the beautiful marble sculpture we saw in the hellenistic period. I recreated it with watercolor & ink on paper, and changed her wings out for bat wings. I wanted to incorporate both Christian elements and Greek elements in attempts to kind of link the two vastly different parts of history together, and I drew inspiration from the works and illustrations of Gustave Dore. I’m sorry this is late and I hope you guys like it.
