Supper Time
Diego Velasquez was a famous Spanish painter. He was the oldest of six children. He grew up in Seville; his kitchen scenes were paintings to show appreciation to those who work hard and to represent the way life was in Seville, in the kitchens. He painted a lot of religious pictures using oil paints. Almost all of his paintings have religious themes to them.
Once I was able to understand where Diego Velasquez came form, I could search for objects to be replaced.
The first preference of the portrait was mediocre. I liked the way he drew the portrait but I though he used way to much repetition. He had to many kitchen appliances. So the first thing I did was get rid of the napkin and the water pot. When doing research I found at that Diego was religious and so am I. After growing up hearing about the Bible it was very obvious what replacement objects to look for. A kitchen scene based of B.C. time period, a few things came to mind, fish, bread, carpentry, oils and spices. I decided that the fish would be an excellent choice. After placing the fish in the middle of the portrait I immediately added a grain texture to it, and lightly dimmed its quality, making the fish appear as it would if originally drawn. Then I added a knife set, because she can’t cook in a kitchen without utensils.
The Dramatic Irony and emotion that Velasquez put in his portrait was neat. The idea of using oil paints was a great texture for the theme.
There was a little racism with the black woman as the cook. I searched and found Velasquez other Kitchen Scenes; a majority of them had white people eating at the table. This was no surprise to me though seeing how the time period of the picture was back when racism was still a problem. The Portrait was very well done with a strong history rooted theme. The difference of Racism and Religion battling each other is a crafty theme, and I enjoyed studying DiegoVelasquez.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog site platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog site in the near future but I’m having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m seeking something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Sorry it has taken so long for me too reply, I am a freshmen at Alfred State College, and this is my E-portfolio of my work. I am using WordPress, and it it the 2010 layout. Thank you for noticing my work=)
insightful
Who did you pay to do your post? Its really nicely designed I bet that is why you get so much traffic!
I do not pay anyone, this is the 2010 layout, I just follow my professors’s instructions
ive got to show this to my friend, bookmarked
It’s nice to know there are still people out there interested in other people’s work. Thank you for the compliment=)
I love your design, it’s nice when you can tell somebody actuallly puts effort into a site, and gives the blogs. If you set up updates value.
This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
For these products is what it’s well worth spending the price of ADSL, although the most expensive in Europe, but to get residence and connect and examine this write-up, is undoubtedly really fulfilling. Alright, so I want you to retain your blog site and I will proceed to pay a visit to, as they say really intriguing points.
