Saxton FreymannI like how Freymann uses food as a form of art. His "sculptures" can be enjoyed from children and even adults. He brings a whole new different life to these foods. I also like how he carved a foot and shoe from the bread :)
Giotto Di Bondone
Since my object deals with some Christian symbolism, it helped to look at Giotto's paintings. His art gave me some ideas for the colors I would like to use in my family heirloom, like gold or bronze.
Da VinciLooking at Da Vinci's Last Supper reminds me of the painting my grandma has in her dinning room. The painting is of an old man praying at the dinner table, with bread and wine on the table. The Last Supper also shows the importance of eating bread when coming together, because everyone at the table has their own piece of bread.
Hey, I would suggest talking to all the other people that were involved with your family dinners in order to get their unique perspectives on the picture and the actual act of eating the meal as a family.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of the Early Christian to Renaissance art would be good for you to consider while creating your object. Duccio and Cimabue are two artists similar to Giotto, and Raphael has some really beautiful devotional paintings (Le Belle Jardinere is one of my favorites). Also, maybe look at Tintoretto's Last Supper because while is shares a common theme with da Vinci's, Tintoretto's Mannerist style is very different and might help you see the same idea in varied ways.
