Recreating Famous Artworks

 LI: To use Google Draw to recreate a famous artwork

LI: To use your knowledge of colour and colour mixing to replicate the colours used in the artworks.



This week we have been learning about famous artworks and colour mixing. The artwork I chose was the girl with a pearl earring by Johannes Vermeer. This artwork was painted in 1665.It was painted because the girl was asked to clean the marsters studio and Johannes Vermeer asked if he could paint her.Today it can be found in Mauritshuis museum in the Hague.Did you know the background sotry behind the girl wiht a pearl earring represents a young women in a dark shallow space, an intimate setting that draws a veiwer's attention exclusively on her.Unlike the mona lisa the painting of the gierl with a pearl earring isnt a potrait but a tronie.

  1. Hi Lily
    You have done an amazing job recreating the Girl with the Pearl Earring. I think your colour mixing looks great and I like how you have captured her facial expression. I also found your information about Johannes Vermeer very interesting, especially the fact that the girl was Johannes Maid.
    Great work

    1. Hi Mrs Linda thank you for commenting onto my blog.Yes I have been researching about the model of the girl with a pearl earring and it shows that it is still a mystery but people think she is Maria Vermeer,daughter of Johannes Vermeer.Did you know anything else about the girl with a pear earring if so how ?
