Charlie Aldridge's Personal Study Blog

In class today we looked at how different pieces of older art can influence new comtnempory artists and their art.
we were asked to create our own pieces and i started to think about the street artist Banksy. i looked at his version of the mona lisa and how he has manipulated the original to put a message across, in this anti war. 

I tried recreating this image by taking the original Mona Lisa and adding a rocket launcher and then changing the style of the piece to look like banksys work, like a stencil.
