Introduction
Art has a major influence in the life of human beings, art has a big has helped human beings to define every day’s life. Artists have been creating artwork with different themes to help in telling story that people experience. The art usually to have a deeper meaning, and what differentiate the arts ,is the message which the artist intend to pass to the audience. In this work four different themes for the current work were picked to help in recreation of the old art paints.
Architecture
The interior design was chosen for the current work since it can help tell a story about a people. Since the design which people favors in their homes helps tell people what your preferences are and which color or art work you prefer to have on the walls of your house.
Interior with an Easel, Bredgade 25, 1912, Vilhelm Hammershøi. Oil on canvas
The interior art was captured by Easel in the early 20th-century.Easel was an artist who focused on interior design, in recreating of Easel painting work.
- Cardboard
- White paint
- Stand
- Wall Paint
The picture was picked simply because we are always confined to home ,every human being usually have a place which they consider as safe. The artwork was chosen because it can be created easily with available materials ,the recreation process also applied natural lighting from the window.
During re-creation process, the artist stood on a rocking chair and cautiously placed some pins to hold the small picture, moved her dining room furniture out of the way, then perfectly placed an easel with a blank canvas. The other reason why I decided to re-creating the Easel painting was because it hard a strong connection with my bedroom setting (Cahill, 2020).
Food and Shelter
Food is an important commodity in every human’s life, being that the food is readily available in the home made it easy for me to recreate the current image. The theme was picked because it connects with the daily life of human being, bearing in mind that food products is an essential item which were as human beings must use in daily.

3.Pasta
4.Kales Leaves

6.Piece of brown paper
The Imagery insect is an art work by Mira Calligraphiae , the paint work was done between 1561-1562.The current image was picked to easily accessibility of the materials, the food stuff used in the current work were picked from the kitchen.
After paying close attention to the image ,I started to image how I could paint the picture with more modernity to it. “Pasta being life for a 6-year-old, it was first selected, followed by the boiled eggs, which happened to be cooling off to the side,” .The next process involved using a brown paper bag as the canvas, and a basil stem from last night’s dinner. This can be considered as a truly wonderful piece with a deeper meaning in life.
MIND AND BODY
The human body has been exploited in by numerous art works by various artists. This due to the fact that mind and body helps define the human though process, it can help in telling people what goes in the mind of the artist, it also enlighten the audience about the use of human body in the artwork.
The Harp and Vacuum

- Vacuum cleaner
- A stool
The piece of art was painted by J.Paul in 2700-2300 BC .During the transformation process, we managed to transform a lady into an ancient harp player with the vacuum cleaner. The woman relaxed and sat on a stool, while placing the vacuum cleaner on the knee of the lady. The piece of art was picked due to its simplicity and deep meaning,recreation of the art was built using only a vacuum cleaner and a simple stool, the other reason why the piece of art was chosen for the current project was because of its strong connection to human body and mind, the recreation of the image could also help us to translate the artists’ message easily.
Nature, Knowledge and Technology
The use of technology in the ancient world has been a topic of discussion for a very long time. The topic was picked to help us understand how people were using technology in the ancient world, this can enlighten us about the origin of the technology and devices were currently use.
Mantel Clock and Time
Mantel Clock, about 1785, clock case attributed to Pierre-Philippe
The material used during this re-creation process include:
1.A cup of tea
2.Choclate Cookies
3.Coin
4.A sauce plate
The Mantel Clock was a painted by Pierre-Philippe Thomire, in the 1785,this piece of work through me off into confusion since I was not able to think about how I could re-recreate the work,.
“The shape of the time piece reminded me of a mug porcelain glass, and there was the allusion to beverages on the tray.” The re-creation process was simply and was able to bring the old piece of art to live.
In conclusion ,I can say the recreation of art pieces was a enjoyable yet knowledgeable experience since it helps me view the pieces of art from the painter’s eye.It also give me an opportunity to help expand my knowledge in painting.
