Vik Muniz


This week we started to work on a project based on
 Vik Muniz's technique. 
We used crepe paper to make flowers and background!
This work is inspired in Andy Warhol's work.

This work was exposed at ArtRio, September 2012.
 When i saw it, i thought...
 WOW my kids can do this!!!
And they DID it!
It's almost ready!! =)

Vicente José de Oliveira Muniz, known as Vik Muniz. 
Born 1961, São Paulo, Brazil, is a visual artist that lives in New York City.
Muniz began his career as a sculptor in the late 1980s.  
He became best known for his series Pictures of Chocolate and Pictures of Junk.
Vik Muniz often appropriates the images that serve as the basis for his artworks 
from works by other well-known artists. 
For example, Muniz used jelly and peanut butter in the creation of the
 work Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci.
