In week one we introduced artworks performed by famous artists. Today's lesson was called "Recreating an Artwork" and we worked separately in groups. Each group chose the artwork given by our tutor. Our group consisted of myself, Amir and Salman. The tutor provided all the materials we needed and we collected materials related to our topic. In agreement with our group, we chose "Boy with a Basket of Fruit" by the northern Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, famous for his dramatic works. We used brown fabric for the background and filled the basket with various tree branches instead of fruits. The boy in the picture has a slightly longer and classic style, so his hairstyle did not match ours. We used a wig to solve this problem. We used a wig to solve this problem. We chose a bright place to shoot and took a few pictures. We tried to make it look like a work of art as much as possible.
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571-1610) was a famous painter born in Lomardia, Northern Italy. He is known for his works of art that convey a strong sense of light and drama. Many modern artists were inspired by his work. Caravaggio began his major artworks after moving to Rome at the age of 21.
The "Boy with a Basket of Fruit" is thought to have been painted in 1593, but the exact date of its creation is unknown, in the early years of his arrival in Rome, the artist created and sold his artworks on the streets. In this work of art, Caravaggio painted his friend and painter Mario Minniti.
"Boy with a Basket of Fruit" shows the artist's skill in depicting real life in detail. Fruits are drawn in such impressive detail that even horticulturists have determined the variety of the fruits depicted by examining their leaves. In the art world, fruit is highly symbolic, with fresh and ripe fruit in the image representing youth, strength and fertility, and this is reflected in the image of a young man with his soft, fair skin. Natural light enters the room from outside the picture frame.

Again, there is a lot missing from this post. I asked you to talk about the artwork you chose and why you chose it, also to talk about how you worked with your fellow group members. I also asked you to talk about the process and show photographs of how you developed the recreation you made. This is too brief and does not have enough education.
