Today as I was digging my works from the day since I started college I realized that we have done some pretty interesting art & design projects. The one that I am sharing today is a concept of a room divider/lamp by using combination of artworks (without completely transforming the artwork) from Art Nouveau and Kishangarh (one of the cities in Rajasthan) style of painting which was known for it's facial expression, use of certain motifs such as the lotus, etc.
I picked "Dance" by Alphonse Mucha as my main form and after it's completion, I was able to get the photoshoot done with the help of a friend, and the effect was really interesting for a beginner level! (Pictures of the process are below)
This is the famous painting known as "Bani Thani" a.k.a Indian Mona Lisa by the artist Nihal Chand.
Dance by Alphonse Mucha. I am not a fan of anything flowery so this one was quite a challenge.
Tracing out the form, placing & combination of motifs. I also tried applying the Kishangarh style of jewellery along with the translucent effect used in "dupattas" & motif to this artwork.
Next was the addition of the colors. I had to make sure that the colors used for painting wouldn't be too loud for the light coming through the paper.
The inner portion is completely covered with LED lights along with a battery of course. Due to lack of time I couldn't play around with the form of the divider but maybe someday I will just do it on my own :)
There are still some errors in this model but if it were to be made again I'd know exactly where and how to do this. It was, for sure a great learning experience with lots of lessons. Let me know what you think?
Till then..
Keep Creating
Lots of Love <3
