Delhi Breadth Assignment

From the many images that we saw in Delhi, for this assignment you should pick one to focus on for your next AP breadth piece.

Drawing inspiration from this piece, you are to make an artwork that is based on it in one or more of the following ways:

-- Composition
-- Color Scheme
-- Subject Matter
-- Concept

Many artists use older works to make new pieces – Picasso did this in the 20th century, basing work on Greek mythology from the ancient world, or from Spanish master paintings from the 17th century.  It is a standard practice in artmaking, to come up with your own version of an older artist’s work.  The work is still different from the original, but plays with tradition in a modern way.

The tradition of Indian art – either miniature paintings, or more recently, from the 20th century – is a rich springboard that is open to anyone’s interpretation.  You can either play with ideas that you have been exploring already, or try something completely new.

You may use a piece that you sketched from in person, or find an image online, but it should be from one of the artists or schools that we encountered on our field trip.
