Changing Art History Visual Art 10 - Exam - June 2014
Homage - Parody - Response Visual culture compulsively self-regurgitates itself… In other words, everything is a remix. We tend to think of appropriation as a postmodern thing, with artists in all media drawing on, referring to, and mashing up the most influential works of the past. But we forget that this has been happening for centuries — millennia, actually — as Renaissance painters paid tribute to Greek art, ideas circulated within the 19th-century French art scene, and Dada hijacked the course of art history, mocking and inverting everything that came before it. Some are homages, some are parodies, some are responses, and a few seem to function as all three.

Consider… • Modernizing the image. Updating the clothes, technology and/or surroundings. • Playing with scale (size) • Playing with color and shape. • Fragmentation – arranging the art piece as though it is broken shards of glass. • Adding something completely strange and bizarre – this would make your piece surreal. • Adding a person, car, insect, animal etc • Transforming your artwork into a line drawing. (like a coloring page – and color or shade it) • Taking one or more objects in your art piece and repeat them. • Taking an object from another art piece designed by your artist and place it in your piece • Placing an image of your artist in the artwork. • Placing objects that reference you into the art piece.
