We finished our study of Toulouse-Lautrec, and I had Sprite select one of his paintings to reproduce. This is the one she chose –In the Private Booth.
In the Private Booth
Sprite's Version of In the Private Booth
While she worked on her version, I tried to help with suggestions without being too critical. That’s such a fine line.
My daughter is so creative that sometimes it’s hard to get her to copy something. When I point out something like, “The bow isn’t exactly like that.” She will say, “Well, it should be. So I changed it.”
I frequently have these conversations with her about times to be creative and times just to copy.
Why do I use this activity with each artist? I think that asking her to reproduce the art causes her to look in detail at the original.
