Famous Paintings

The scream

1. the light is coming from all over
2. i can duplicate the light by taking the picture while the sun is going down and the sky is an orange color
3. i will need to recreate the facial expression and make sure there is water in the back
4. the angle the painter used was a diagonal angle so the leading line of the wooden rail rail shows depth of field
5. clothing items i will need is a black long sleeve shirt
6. My uncle would be a good model because he is bald
7. the details in this painting are the sunset sky and the facial expression of the model in the painting. in order for me to recreate this the model will have to hold they hands over their cheeks and open their mouth to look shocked or like they are screaming
8. i think the most difficult thing to recreate will be the lighting and the water in the back. Also it will be difficult to get the leading lines of the rail in the background

American Gothic

1. the light is coming from the left side of the painting because the models in the painting have shadows on the opposite side of their faces
2. i can duplicate the light by making sure the sun is on the left side of the picture and the models have the correct shadow on their face
3. I will need to recreate the background with the house and the man holding the tool in his hand
4. the painter used a diagonal that is directly in front of the models in the painting
5. clothing times i will need are a collared shirt for the female, over-alls for the man, glasses for the man, and a coat for the man
6. my mom and dad would be good models because they both look like the models in the painting and my mom is blonde just like the woman in the painting
7. details in the painting are the house in the background
8. i think the hardest thing to recreate in this painting will be the house in the background because there are a lot of details in it


Two Sisters (on the terrace)
1. the lightings is coming from the left side of the painting
2. i can duplicate the light by making sure the sun is on the left
3. i will need to recreate the sisters holding the basket of flowers
4. the painter used a diagonal angle with the sisters facing towards the other diagonal
5. clothing items i will need are a white blouse and a dark blue blouse
6. my friend's sisters would be good models because they are around the same age as the sisters in the painting
7. the details in the painting are the woodsy background and the flowers that the girls are holding
8. i think the hardest things to recreate for me will be the background and finding all the flowers to make the picture look like the painting
