Approach

How did you approach the assignment and re-creation of the work in a digital medium?

As I was initially drawn to Matisse’s love towards her daughter, which I think is expressed with bright, lively and complementary colors, I chose to show my love towards my dog. To do this, I first found a picture that I thought was the most adorable.

Then, I cropped up the dog, and painted the background myself. As Matisse did, I used brighter and complementary colors, and I too used colors that could express my emotion towards the dog: love. They aren’t actual colors of the background from the picture.
