Paint for Fun- Session 3.

The third session of the weekly "Paint for Fun" organized by NUS ArtVibe was held on the 12th of September. And as usual, it was unusual. This session was mainly occupied by the 'Art Appropriation' activity.

Art Appropriation refers to 'the practice or technique of reworking the images or styles contained in earlier works of art, in order to provoke critical re-evaluation of well-known pieces by presenting them in new contexts, or to challenge notions of individual creativity or authenticity in art’. To put it in simple words, each person takes a masterpiece and chooses a certain aspect of it that he/she likes the most and using that, creates an artwork of their own. Some of the masterpieces used in the session include "Las Meninas" by Diego Velazquez, "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso etc.

After the participants were done painting/sketching, they presented their work to the rest of the group and explained their choice of aspect from the masterpeices.


Mrs. Sunita Choudhry, an interior designer, attended the session as a guest, giving tips to the participants. She will be conducting a workshop on the fundamentals of a painting this saturday (19th September). To register, send a email with your name and matric number to artvibe.nus@gmail.com
