当代版《蒙娜丽莎》

在一场关于列奥纳多·达·芬奇的精彩课程之后，我们像许多现当代艺术家一样，尝试对这幅著名的《蒙娜丽莎》图像进行再创作。我们希望打造一位属于当今时代的“蒙娜丽莎”——她身穿一件时髦T恤，站在一座城市背景前摆出姿势。我们模仿了达·芬奇原作中人物面部与双手的明暗/排线，以及远景中逐渐虚化的风景，即达·芬奇著名的空气透视效果。

绘制《蒙娜丽莎》形象时，我们使用了一份可在此处获取的工作表。每位学生都自主设计了T恤图案，并用彩铅为其上色。面部与双手的阴影部分则用铅笔绘制，力求精准复刻达·芬奇肖像中明暗区域的分布。

城市风景首先用铅笔勾勒，注意将较小的宫殿画在画面靠上方（即远景位置）；随着建筑向近处延伸，我们逐步将其画得更大，以此营造空间纵深感——即使仅通过图像尺寸变化也能体现远近关系。接着，我们用丙烯颜料调制出彩色灰阶：先以各色加黑（如蓝+黑、红+黑、绿+黑等）调出深色，再逐步将该深色与白色混合，形成一套完整的明度渐变序列。

建筑上的窗户随后用白色水粉或白色涂改液（修正液）点绘完成。最后，将剪下的《蒙娜丽莎》人物形象粘贴到城市背景之上，整幅作品即告完成。

Contemporary Mona Lisa

After an exciting lesson on Leonardo da Vinci we tried, like many other artists of modern and contemporary art, to play with the famous image of Mona Lisa. We wanted to create a Mona Lisa of nowadays, dressed in a trendy T-shirt, and posing in front of a background of a city. We imitated the shadows on Mona Lisa’s face and hands, and the landscape that fade in the distance, as in the famous aerial perspective of Leonardo da Vinci

For the drawing of the Mona Lisa we used a worksheet that you can find here. Each student has invented his T-shirt, coloring it with colored pencils. The shadows of the face and hands are made in pencil, trying to copy the areas of shadow and light from the portrait of Leonardo.

The landscape of the city was first drawn in pencil, making sure to draw the smaller palaces behind (top on the drawing). As they come close, we made them larger, to give the impression of distance even with the enlargement of the images. With the acrylic color, we created gradations of colored grays. At first we created a dark color adding some black (blue + black, red + black, green + black…) and then we created a scale of tonal gradation adding gradually this dark color to white.

The windows of the buildings were made subsequently with white tempera or a white corrector (whitebait). The figure of the Mona Lisa has been then cut out and applied over the city to complete the work.
