Hi everybody! Along with the tutoring and once-a-week conversation programs we've set up, we're still brainstorming ideas that you can have fun with. The latest one is a Photo Contest where you can recreate your favorite work of Italian art in photo form. I know many of you are thinking of Michelangelo's David right now, but please, be tasteful. Below you will see the flyer for the event which depicts Da Vinci's The Last Supper and below it is photographer Annie Leibovitz's promo shot of the Sopranos in the same style.
We can't all be professional photographers but as you can see this could be really fun and interesting if we get plenty of submissions. Be tongue-and-cheek, be serious, be abstract! Whatever happens, La Società Italiana will be submitting a photo and goodness knows we want to win the prize we have lined up -- don't let us win so easily!
As for the format of the submissions, we want your photo paired with the work you're trying to replicate (so there's no confusion) and all submissions should be sent to rcc6a@virginia.edu by APRIL 11th. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
