Thirsty Spiderman

`My art work is a picture of Vermeer’s Milkmaid. with spider man on the top of the left hand corner; it is in a pop art (comic) style.

The style that I used is pop art , Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist’s use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of Fine Art.
Johannes Vermeer  was the original artist.  He was a Dutch Baroque painter who specialized in exquisite, domestic interior scenes of ordinary life. Vermeer was a moderately successful provincial genre painter in his lifetime. He seems never to have been particularly wealthy, perhaps because he produced relatively few paintings, leaving his wife and children in debt at his death.

The name the original artwork is ‘Milkmaid’.  A milkmaid was historically a woman, usually young, who milked cows and supplied milk.  She also prepared the dairy products such as cream, butter, and cheese. The term is not a female equivalent of milkman.

To create this image I used the filter function –poster effect in Photoshop and I cut out the spider man form the poster and paste it in to the drawing –Milk Maid
