An animated, collage style reproduction of Georges Braque’s Houses at l’Estaque.
Creativity- I find it interesting that you decided to take the artwork and present the emphasis in a different way. It's an interesting spin on the original that nobody else seems to have thought of.
Execution- The new work effectively draws the eye to different aspects of the painting at a speed that is neither exhausting nor too slow. It reminds me of those christmas light displays that flash at different speeds to simulate animation. Though I believe one of the main reason this project got far more views than average has more to do with people assuming you painted this than your true contribution.
Context- Since Braque worked extensively on light and perspective, your interpretation makes sense given his interests, though I don't think there are more fitting ways that this could be interpreted.
Documentation- Sufficiently thorough and easy to follow.
This is an interesting take on the original work. The research is thorough, and it informed how you interpreted the work. It is interesting that you say you randomized the pop-ups because to me, it looks like they move from outside to inside - gradually directing the viewer’s eye to the house. That is compelling considering the name of the original piece implies that the houses are the most “important” part of the image. Great job documenting, the reflection portion is especially strong.
