In this activity I was looking at a painting by Tamara de Lempicka called Self Portrait. I found this painting fascinating because there is more to it then what meets the eye. I would give this picture a 4/5 because I feel like there is an interesting backstory to this painting.
Mālō e lelei Tiava,
ReplyDeleteYou made a very interesting observation about this painting, which is the fact that it does indeed provoke a curiosity about the woman story. Who is she? Where she is going? I like art that engage the public and prompt us to create theories. Do you thinks she is escaping? I think so, my theory is that she is leaving her family and the prospect of a wealthy marriage to live and independent life and pursue a career as an artist. Here you go, this is my theory. What do you think?
Dig in and keep blogging!
Kia kaha,
Patricia
Hi Tiava,
ReplyDeleteI noticed that she is wearing some sort of helmet, do you think that has anything to do with her car? She might be a woman car racer, but there is not enough detail to be completely sure.
Great job
Hey Tiava
ReplyDeleteGood job on completing this summer learning journey activity. I would also give the painting a 4 out of five because it's a pretty good painting but it's not one that I really like. Keep up the amazing work Tiava!
