Photo Challenge (1/21/18 - 2/2/18): Photographs to Art

One of my favorite exhibits at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA, is their Bouquets to Art exhibit in which florists choose a piece of art on display at the museum to interpret in a floral arrangement. The results are stunning and so creative! 

So, for our next assignment, let’s visit a local art museum/gallery and choose a piece of art (painting, sculpture, etc, any medium other than photography) to interpret photographically. The pieces could be portraits, landscapes, abstracts, and there is no need to interpret literally. Get creative! Take a photo of the original artwork so that you can post it with your composed photo. Take note on which elements you want to carry over: is it a certain color scheme or pose or interesting lines that are key to the original artwork that you can replicate photographically? What elements drew you to it?

This could take some planning and coordination to execute so let’s give ourselves until Friday, Feb 2, to complete this assignment. Post your photo and a photo of the original artwork in a gallery post on Instagram - and tag me (@fotofem) so I can see!
