Xerox Art

I was immediately intrigued with this assignment, and so I began looking for art movements or pieces which moved me. I was inspired by Gustav Klimt's The Kiss, for this particular project, partly because of the Xerox copies I made with my eyes shut. The facial expressions reminded me of the woman in the painting, embracing her lover. Furthermore, I knew I could copy my hair in an attempt to emulate Klimt's work. Because I knew our copies had to be black and white, I envisioned a more mysterious, eerie, perhaps even Gothic rendition of the popular painting. To complete this art project, I made several copies and different poses. After I cut all my copies out, I measured the area I wanted my art to take up, before placing the different pieces. In conclusion, I enjoyed creating a Gothic representation of Klimt's The Kiss, and I hope those who view my work will be pleasantly surprised.
