For this piece we focused on emulating an artist of our choice from history. They could be from any genre, and the benefit to this was that we had a wide variety of art, both modern and not, that was reflected in the work we did. I personally did Goya, a Spanish artist who was famous for his etchings as well as his royal portraits which he painted during his time with the royal family. He lived a long life, and created many pieces of art throughout it. His time living through the Spanish war also produced art, a series called the Disasters of War which is exactly as the name suggests. Additionally, he later when deaf in his late life, and began painting a series called the Black Paintings, which creepily enough were painted on the walls of his house in a surprisingly horrifying amount of detail. Goya was an incredible man, and his ability stretched across several different kinds of art. It was interesting to study the man's life and a humbling thing to attempt to emulate his work.
