Re-staging the Masters
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 re-stage, from objects you gather from home. The objective is to transform the original into a derivative version of your own design by using alternative elements while keeping with the overall structure and character of the piece. The outcome will inevitably be a surreal version of the original.
