Persistence of Pixels

I like what you did with this reproduction and it is a very creative idea to pixelate such a famous work of art. I give your creativity a 10 both for the originality of your idea and that you wanted to try and evoke the same emotions through a drastically different medium. For what you wanted to do it came out very well, and I would say it is visually pleasing so I give the Execution of your work a 10. I agree with what you said in that your reproduction somewhat fails to fully evoke the same emotions as the original, but this would be quite a challenge to succeed in. However, I think the exploration of art in a new medium in an attempt to evoke the same emotions was a valid endeavor, and so I give context an 8. And finally, your documentation is a 10 because I clearly understood how you felt about both pieces, and what you wanted your project to accomplish.

I could immediately recognize the original work you selected for the project and the first thought that came to mind was a pixelating app. Nowadays where apps have developed the capabilities to create paintings out of photographs, it was pleasant to find your personal touch in the pixelating process of the work. The name is very apt, as the pixels are indeed very persistent. I wonder, is this reproduction part of a greater vision of yours?

When you mentioned you literally painted it by hand, from scratch, with some online tools, I felt impressed. Your work immediately evoked my thoughts about the original work. In this way, it's successful in capturing and reliving the styles and themes of the original. What I think you can do better is that you can delicately depict some specific elements in the painting like the crooked clock, so as to further the kind of emotion from the original work that you also felt missing in your reproduction. For instance, you can paint the crooked clock with smooth strokes and details but leave the rest of the painting mosaic or pixelated. That would make the essential elements and feelings of the original work stand out in your reproduction.

Your research and documentation is thorough, and the final product is an interesting interpretation of the original piece. Great job.
