American Parody
I bet I could ask you if you have ever heard of the painting "American Gothic" and you would probably say you have never heard of it. But if I showed it to you I bet you would not only instantly know it, but you could tell me some other way that you have seen it. You have probably seen a parody of this famous Grant Wood painting in magazines or on a commercial. Heck you might have even seen it in an episode of Spongebob. It is probably one of the most recreated works of art on the planet. And why not? It is a fun piece that is easy to use in a joke.
The top image is the original and the rest are parodies of it. Can you name me another parody that you have seen using "American Gothic?" What would you do if you could create a parody of this famous piece? Would you stick with the original characters or would you swap them out for two completely different people/characters?

I have seen a Simpson's parody of this painting. I would do Luke and Leia from Star Wars if I was to do a parody. I think it would be interesting because I could use a lightsaber instead of a pitchfork.
ReplyDeleteI think there was a parody of this shown in one of the looney tunes movies. Two characters were chasing each other through a series of famous paintings. One of them stopped and "became" one of the characters and because cartoon logic defies any meaning, the other character continued to look for him. If I did a version of this, I would use two of the teenage mutant ninja turtles. That would be fun to do because you could do lots of different things for the background, and one of the TMNT's uses a weapon that looks similar to a pitchfork.
ReplyDeleteI honestly like the one when they are wearing ugly sweaters. I like how they made it a christmas theme. I love christmas theme
ReplyDeleteI like how they use one picture and turn it into multiple. I really like these pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like such a simple concept to come up with but it is really cool. I think we should do something like this in class.
ReplyDeleteThis pieces really inspire me to share a parable with you, I was at a college, a second tier, not an ivy league school, a second choice school, and I was in a class. And there was a student in that class, okay? And the teacher, he was spouting some horrible non-sense about something how women’s rights are not legitimate, something that everybody knew was false, but if anybody had spoken up, he would’ve taken extreme joy in failing them. Okay? Nobody spoke up. One person raised his voice. Once person started talking. The teacher couldn’t believe it, the classroom couldn’t believe it either. But in the end, he had logic on his side. And at the end of the day, he proved his point. That student was Albert Einstein
ReplyDeleteAnd that same sense of childlike play and innocence that we know from Albert Einstein, I can sense it in these art pieces.
I don't seem to like it and how the same character and completely change the meaning the the original painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they change the way the picture goes into something different every time. the way they design is cool. the concept of them changing the picture every time is great.
ReplyDeleteThese are kind of funny. Whoever created these is clever. My favorite is the one where they are wearing ugly christmas sweaters.
ReplyDeletehaha the lady in it is always glaring at the guy. she must really hate him or something. This is really famous and kinda makes you wonder. why is she mad.
ReplyDeleteI really like these paintings they are very nice i could never do this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool spin on this classic painting. I think that this is a very cool parody of these paintings. I still think that this painting is pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the recreation with the skeletons it has a lot of detail and it makes the original look better.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very famous painting that I see parodies of all the time. The recreations thats are up there are quite comical. I like the 2nd (Forbes) one the best.
ReplyDeleteThe last painting really speaks to me on a very very very deep level. I mean when you look at the girl you can see in her eyes that she is upset about women's rights. You can see that all she wants is to take that sweater of 2 reindeer fornicating on her. As far as the guy he is debating how much he wants to leave and start building barns...
ReplyDeleteThose paintings are unique and very cool and I could never paint something like that in my life
ReplyDeleteI really dig the Mario one and the dark skeleton.
ReplyDeleteReally shows how art can be the same in many different ways.
The christmas one is pretty wack , guess it's cool as well since christmas is just right on the corner.
its cool
ReplyDeleteyeah its cool
Deleteits cool
ReplyDeletei agree, is cool
Deletei love how you can change it and make it look like so many different stuff. there is so much potential to what you can do with this pitcure
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty cool. Its so creative. I really like the fourth one. Its so amazing.
ReplyDeletethis looks really easy to make a joke of and it is very funny and creative
ReplyDeletei think this is kinda easy to get the hang of becasue once you do one then the rest would be kinda easy
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to like it and how the same character and completely change the meaning the the original painting.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like these pieces, and it's not something I would want to do. Very creative though!
ReplyDeletei think its pretty stupid and y would someone do this i just think its really stupid
ReplyDeletei dont know what any of the names of the pictures are but they are pretty cool. i would probably make an outline of every thing it could look pretty cool
ReplyDeletei like how they made many different versions of one photo.
ReplyDeletei think they are cool. thats cool how they have many different versions of it. we should do that in art 1
ReplyDeleteits very creative and has nice details
ReplyDeleteThese are all creative. They all have different versions that are all pretty cool. But personally I like the Mario
ReplyDeletei like the original one the best but it is fun to see how creative people can be. but at the same time its like cmon dude come up with your own idea
ReplyDeleteall of them look good. I don't really like the Mario one though. They artist made it look like he doesn't like to eat food
ReplyDeleteI would like to try one of these. I think I would do totally new characters. I don't know which characters I would do though.
ReplyDeleteTheses are some really amazing art work, and shows a lot old death and deatiles.
ReplyDeletei think they would be a great art project. its cool how there are different characters for each picture
ReplyDeleteI like how this artist made these different variations of the original to kind of make them interesting. It would be fun to see more of this by that artist.
ReplyDeleteI really like how much effort this artist put into the art. It looks very nice and I would like to se3e more from the artist. This was just an amazing piece of art.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they change the way the picture goes into something different every time. the way they design is cool. the concept of them changing the picture every time is great.
ReplyDeleteThe way they change it is funny, I like art parodies like this, all though some people think its ruling the historic painting
ReplyDeleteThis is funny. I wonder why they decided to use that painting to make parodies. I think it would be fun to this and try and come up with any many diffferent ones and make a story.
ReplyDeleteI think that the painting looks beautiful and that the painting must have been very time consuming because its excellent
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool spin on this classic painting. I think that this is a very cool parody of these paintings. I still think that this painting is pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteThese look very neat. The one is very creepy. Looks like a lot of time and effort was put in to this.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. It looks kind of weird but it's interesting. I think this looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't like these cause they dont look like art. It is pretty good painting.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very elgant painting. The painting strokes are divine and it looks like they took plenty of time
ReplyDeleteI would switch these characters out for something else they creep me out. I don't like this artwork because like I said it's creepy.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a very elegant painting. The painting strokes are divine and it looks like they took plenty of time
ReplyDeleteI think this is very wierd. It isnt my favoret art idea on here.
ReplyDeletethese pictures are creepy as heck. i don't like these picture cause they are sort of
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool spin on this classic painting. I think that this is a very cool parody of these paintings. I still think that this painting is pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteIf i would redo this i would pick two completly differnt people just to change it up. You cant keep the same people all the time. But the picture is kinda wierd.
ReplyDeleteI think these are really cool. I like how they took an original and made it different. This is something that would be kinda fun to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat even is this? All the versions look weird and just creepy. The only one I kind of like is the skeleton one.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Parody, shows the true insides of American life. It shows the hard times, but it shows the good times as well. The value of life can not be taken away. It can only be boosted and that is why American Parody shows the true value of people. The end.
ReplyDeleteI really dig the Mario one and the dark skeleton.
ReplyDeleteReally shows how art can be the same in many different ways.
The christmas one is pretty wack , guess it's cool as well since christmas is just right on the corner
The original painting is super weird. It shows two old people that look like they are just sitting around and waiting to die. I do not see happiness in the picture. maybe it is supposed to be like that
ReplyDeleteI really like the Skelton one it has really nice detail in the picture.
ReplyDeletei wanna know how their heads got so round. plus how in the world is that pitchfork so thin. That thing could cut skin. wowza
ReplyDeleteI think theses are soooo cool. If i were to do a paraty i would make them in space.
ReplyDeleteit seems like such a simple concept to come up with but it is really cool. I think we should do something like this in class.
ReplyDeletei like thsi and how they did it and how they do the differnet things with it
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool spin on this classic painting. I think that this is a very cool parody of these paintings. I still think that this painting is pretty creepy.
ReplyDeleteThese are kind of funny. Whoever created these is clever. My favorite is the one where they are wearing ugly christmas sweaters.
ReplyDeletethis is very cool but very creepy lso
ReplyDeleteI really like how this artist made his artwork look modern and how he made the skeletons of the same people dealing with the same artwork
ReplyDeleteThese are funny. I like the mario one. but they should make their own things
ReplyDeletethis is a common art piece i'd say , nothing too exciting .... 5/10
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI don't like these cause they dont look like art. It is pretty good painting.
ReplyDeleteI like the way they change the way the picture goes into something different every time. the way they design is cool. the concept of them changing the picture every time is great.
I like these pictures a lot, they look cool. It makes it more like funny and modern day in a way when they change them. I like how they change the paintings.
ReplyDeleteThis recreations from the original and cool because they took something old and put a new twist on it. I think we should do something like this in class. It looks like it would be alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis artwork would be a fun project to do in class. It is really fun artwork to. I still think this would be challenging but fun.
ReplyDeleteI remember doing something like this in elementary art with the famous "scream" painting and I really enjoyed it much like I enjoyed the works of art.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy these pictures. By changing them to look like they are in our world today. I don't see the art in them except for just changing a few details about them.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool art style in my opinion. It is very personalizable, which means you can change it to fit your style. One thing I must mention though, is that, like songs or movies, the original is definitely the best.
ReplyDeleteI like how you can make one picture into many other pictures. It's very creative.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy how creative these person is the funniest one to me in the forck one.I thought his neck fat was hilarious and the the sweaters on the other one was really cool .One of the dumbest looking ones was the mario one it was also pretty funnie and its cool how creative it really was looks like its just a little different but it took work im betting.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like these. They look nice and all, but I just don't like drawing people. I like working on different kinds of art. These are very nice, but just not for me.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious I am laughing.......ha. My favorite one is the Forbes one. It's very creative.
ReplyDeleteI really like parodies of other things. I think they are really funny. There are alot of circumstances where the parody is better than the original.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of remaking the same painting over into something new, but I don't really like these. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the skeletons one. I may not like these pieces, but it's very creative.
ReplyDeleteI like this painting because its interesting, and has different themes for each one and on some has color which makes it pop out, and it's very creative. It's unique, pretty, and original.
ReplyDeleteThese are really funny, I love the christmas sweaters
ReplyDeleteKinda creepy but I like it
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun project to do. They are all the same picture but different designs. I would like to have that project.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fun project to do. They are all the same picture. I would like to do this someday.
This looks like it would be hard to draw. I think it would be fun to redesign as a parody. Overall it is funny.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool to see the same picture with many different designs forms. I personally would like to try a project like this an put my own ideas into it. I also think it would be a very good class project.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen any of these in other ways. I could not name another parody that I have seen. I would not like making this because I would not know what to do.
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty creepy. Not something I would buy or hang up in my house,
ReplyDeleteI think these are pretty good. I think it's pretty funny. They look really good though.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen any other variations of this. They're funny, but I definitely wouldn't display one of these.
ReplyDeleteI like the different effects you can change about just one picture
ReplyDeleteI like the skelton one the best. And they use the same picture for every project. I would enjoy this project.
ReplyDeleteThis iece isn't my favorite. I enjoy the creativity, but I don't think it would be something "fun" to do. I would enjo it if you could do it with different paintings.
ReplyDeleteI like how people can take the same image and change it. The dark one is my favorite version. I also like the forbes one too.
ReplyDeleteI don't like this. It is very weird. I hope we never do something like this in class.
ReplyDeleteThis work is very creepy looking. I probably would never be interested in trying something like this. It looks really good and a lot of time was put into it but not very cool.
ReplyDeletei like the verity in difference i probably like the fat one the best the mario is probably the second best
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cool art style in my opinion. It is very personalizable, which means you can change it to fit your style. One thing I must mention though, is that, like songs or movies, the original is definitely the best.
ReplyDeleteI like all the different versions of the original piece. Some of them crack me up
ReplyDeletei like the different versions of this art. if i would recreate this i would use the same people so people understand the joke
ReplyDelete
