Project #3 Inspired By A Favorite Artist

Georgia o keefe
Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue, 1931 Georgia O' Keefe- Oil
Cow skull
My Version- Cow Skull 2008 Alesha Fowlie- Watercolour

This project is fairly straightforward; 

1. Find an artist or favorite piece of art and study it carefully.
2. Do your own version which is inspired by this work. It's important that your artwork be original, you dont want to copy but instead try and tap into what inpired this artist or particular work and see if thier muse can spark your work as well.

I suggest using a different medium than the original work; for example if you were to work from a Matisse work you may use charcoal or graphite instead of paint. You may work very realistically from a semi abstract work or vice versa. 

Variation: You can do this on as well as or instead of the above project. Create a drawing inspired by a favorite story, poem or piece of music.
Be creative!
