my attempt at the Getty Museum Challenge! Henri Matisse’s chat aux poisson rouge. I probably wouldn’t have done this normally but as we’re figuring out digital learning my English teacher assigned us this challenge. Mu is such a good model so this was very fun to do! I tend to think the outtakes capture the spirit of the painting better than the picture I ended up sharing...
image id: [a collection of power point slides with white text and black background.
slide 1 reads: step 1: prepare three items. on the slide is a picture of a blue eyed brown Siamese cat on a white blanket and a few pictures of a vase as red paper fish are cut out and attached to it, while the cat is in the background.
slide 2 reads: step 1.5: mom yells at cat for stealing her lunch
slide 3 reads: step 2: put bonito flakes in vase. Try to get cat to understand he needs to put paw in vase. He tries to eat the paper fish. This is take 2. On the slide is a thumbnail of a video with the cat sticking his face in the knocked over vase.
slide 4 reads: Outtakes. There are several blurry pictures of the cat knocking over the vase or trying to stick his face in it.
slide 5 reads: tada! on the right, there is a picture of Henri Matisse’s cat with red fish painting, which is a picture of a yellow cat on a blue table with a few fruits and a small tank with red fish. the cat is sticking his paw into the fish tank. on the left there is a picture of the siamese cat sticking his paw into the vase with red paper fish taped to it.
slide 6 reads: step 3: feed cat bonito flakes as a reward; satisfied, he goes back to sleep. there are two pictures of him laying on a bed, on the left he is scratching his ear and on the right he is laying down and looking contentedly at the camera.] end id.
