Originally this artwork is called Monalisa and made by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1950's. In the Monalisa, the woman doesn't have eye brows. Nobody knows that he did on purpose or it's just accident. I recreated as modern style so that's why she wear I love New York t shirt and buildings on the background.

Reason why I choose this artwork is there is many theories of eyebrows and that makes me interest. There is many theories, some of them says there is UFO in the artwork, reason why he didn't draw her eyebrow is she was sop pretty and da Vinci was looking at her all the time so he forgot to draw her eyebrows. Also Monalisa came out in 1950's so I wanted to recreated in modern style. Monalisa is famous artwork, you probably seen this before and every time I see this I thought what if she has eyebrows or if she was Asian?

I sketch with my pencil first, and the concept is its drawing of me draw a new Monalisa ( Monalisa in modern style). And I used black color pencil for buildings on a backgrounds with the yellow window. I colored Monalisa's shirt white and black letters. Also color pencil. I was gonna use only pencil because every art project that I made was pretty good but after I colored most of artwork was failed. But this project is a color project artist assignment so I added color pencil.

1. Reason why I choose this is I have seen this many times and also there is some of mystery too so I had many ideas of this artwork. Monalisa symbolized world to me. Because there is mystery that people can't find it forever

2. Most of color in this artwork is black, because I was trying to represent New York City in the night. And i also changed the colors

3. I used monochromatic for this assignment. It's shade, I focused on Monadlisa's shade and make it in detail.
