Winter Exhibition ❄️ and more!

Hi it’s Maggie again! In this post I will be sharing my last portion of work for this project

What we had to do:

We had to work with a group to create 3 different acts in a tableaux. We had to do medieval, Renaissance and contemporary. And present it to friends family and other class mates. We took 2 weeks practicing and creating 3 acts. It was hard especially since we had the smallest group and it was hard to make it work with only 4 people. I didn’t think that when it was time to perform we were going to make a fool of ourselves. But I was wrong. Our group had some of the best props and we crushed the performance. We did amazing and everyone incorporated on making the project amazing!

We had to create a Renaissance piece of art but with our face just like the one we did for the medieval times. In the background we had to choose specific pieces of art that were created in Renaissance times. I choose all of the pieces of artwork because they all have a special meaning in my piece.

Here is a photo of my Renaissance artwork that I created.

Moon and sun:

In my artwork there is a picture of the sun and the moon. The reason that I included this photo into my artwork, is because I believe that we used the sun and the moon for everything before clocks were invented. In todays time we still use the sun and the moon to tell what time it is in the day and when it is morning and night.

Tree:

I added this piece of artwork because it shows the climate in the Renaissance and how they treated the environment. They would take advantage of the plants and crops. Only the wealthy would grow crops and have land with animals. We still have farmers and eat plants that grow on farms. But we need to take a better care of our planet and the environment. We can help by using less plastic and recycle more often.

Clock:

I incorporated the picture of how a clock looked liked in Renaissance time. It is very important that we remember that we have not always end had clocks in the past. We still use clocks in todays time. We use clocks for everything. If the clock had never been invented we would not be where we are today. They used clocks for lots of things during the renaissance.

What the exhibition is:

Me and my group represented our tableaux at the exhibition, and it was awesome. I think we did a really great job of acting out what is was like during medieval and Renaissance times. Here are some photos of are tableaux at the exhibition.
