Digital Reproduction

Creativity (9/10) - I like that you chose a different pair of shoes in your recreation of the work! I thought it was interesting that you chose Birkenstocks as a representation of modern femininity instead of high heels.

Execution (9/10) - I agree that the visual effect of the final product pretty accurately resembles the original work, and it is clear that you have mastery of the medium that you used! In recreating the original work, I think you did a good job of matching the overall idea, although the textures of the two side by side feel very different. The contrast between the shoes and the background is a lot more apparent in your version, and the background stands out quite a bit, while the original work seems more homogeneous, although this could have been an artistic choice!

Context (8/10) - I enjoyed the background about Kusana, but I do wish you went into a little more depth about the background behind the painting, as well as your interpretation of the work. You said you chose the piece because it is "very simple yet invoked a lot of different emotions," but did not explain any further than that. It would be interesting to hear more about what the work means to you, so I can better understand your goals and why you chose to recreate it the way you did.

Documentation (9/10) - I thought your documentation of the process was very clear and easy to read! Perhaps it would be nice if you explained more about particular artistic choices, such as why you chose the background that you did, and why you positioned the shoes a little off center, etc.

After viewing the original artwork, my most immediate observation was that the footwear you depict is "on top of" the background rather than one with it. This contrast is made more apparent by the imprecise yet precisely functioning cuts I presume you made to isolate the footwear. The background appears to have watermarks in place which to me really invokes the question of ownership of a work of art and what work in the process makes the final product belong to an artist. The feeling I am left with after viewing your reproduction is a Fourth of July with the bright yellows or the Birk's like bright fireworks.

Creativity: I thought your reproduction was really creative, and I liked the changes in the background and the shoes. I really enjoyed how the Birkenstocks still attract a lot of attention, but with a different connotation than the original high heels.
Execution: Your work was really well done, both the use of the app and the choices of shoes/background.
Context: I liked how you tied in your reproduction choices with the themes that Kusana was trying to depict in her original piece. The themes in your piece differ slightly from the original work, but with good consideration of the contrast.
Documentation: The documentation was good and easy to follow, and it was nice to contrast your work against the original at the bottom.
