Restaging the Masters
Essential Question: What conceptual shift occurs when reproducing an artwork?

Picture
Picture
Recreate the pictorial elements of an existing artwork using a variety of like objects. Choose a famous work of art that you think you could restage from objects you gather from home.

The outcome will inevitably be a commentary on the original. 

The Process:
