Description:
This is a piece I did for Heather's 12 month design class. Our assignment was to make a piece inspired by an artist we wanted to study. I chose Alphonse Mucha, a Czech Art Nouveau artist who produced many paintings, illustrations, and advertisements. He often did women with long flowing hair and gowns surrounded by decorative lines and flowers. I designed this piece of my daughter in Photoshop Elements giving her the hair from one of his paintings. The design inside the circle came from a kaleidoscope I designed, and the flowers and lines around the circle came from a Dover art book. This piece was selected to be in the SAQA Small Visions Big Voice exhibit at Tactile Arts Center in Denver.
