Artist Study: Toulouse-Lautrec

September 26, 2007 By Jimmie Quick Leave a Comment

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.

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.
