Major's Project #7

Re-Draw Your Childhood

Select one of the childhood drawings that you have included in the Art History of You project, and recreate that drawing.

As a young adult, you have more skills at your disposal than you did as a small child, so this re-imagined image will have a more polished aesthetic, but it should still be clearly related to the original.

You may recreate the drawing in any medium (drawing, photography, video, painting, computer illustration, Photoshop, fashion design, etc.).

Yeundoo Jung is an artist who uses color photography to recreate the drawings of children.

Notice which elements are included in the photograph: the sun, the princess, the hill, the cross, and to some extent, the building.

Dave Devries creates computer-generated images that are faithful to the shapes and expressions of the original drawings.  He embellishes to make the flat shapes appear 3-dimensional.  He also adds backgrounds and color.

Your finished product is due on Friday, March 9th before 4:00PM.
You may email a high-quality (no blurry photographs please) documentation of your project to me or you may hand in the original work.

This project should reflect at least 7.5 hours of work, and the finished product should be a clearly resolved work.  If I feel that your project was rushed or not carefully considered, this will negatively impact your grade.

Late turn-in will not be accepted and will result in a grade of 0 for this project.

Contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
