school of athens


We began this semester in studio with a quick charrette reinterpreting Raphael’s school of Athens. We divided an image of the painting in to a grid an every one took one part of the image to redo. This was an individual project that came together into one larger whole. There was a mixed media project and everyone tried something different.

I used nothing but white paper to reconstruct my portion. I cutout contours that followed the dominant patters in the image, stacking up multiple layer to create depth.

Once the individual segment of this charrette was completed, as a class we generated a section view of the Gatewood Studio Arts Building highlighting the spaces that we use. We then scaled this section to fit over the original project, printed it out on translucent velum and hung it up over the piece.
