Workshop of students from Poland - haberdashery

Italian haberdashery elements artwork: "Head of a woman in a hat" by Modigliani


Teachers and pupils want to create an haberdashery elements workart taking inspiration from Modigliani. Among his most famous portraits they choose to reproduce "Head of a woman in a hat".
Amedeo Modigliani (July 12, 1884 in Livorno, Tuscany – January 24, 1920 in Paris) was an Italian painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. Primarily a figurative artist, he became known for paintings and sculptures in a modern style characterized by mask-like faces and elongation of form.
In 1906, Modigliani settled in Paris, where he encountered the works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pablo Picasso (in his "blue period"). The strong influence of Paul Cezanne's paintings is clearly evident, both in Modigliani's deliberate distortion of the figure and the free use of large, flat areas of color.

The team needs colorful buttons and the warm glue gun.

























 At the end of the work we are satisfied and happy, so Alessio takes a picture of us.
 Look at the result!
