The Last Dinner By : Evan Luna

Leonardo Da Vinci names the art piece that I worked on The Last Supper. I didn’t feel any specific emotion while recreating one of Leonardo’s most famous paintings. I guess I could have been more enthusiastic about it. What I wanted to do was recreate The Last supper. It didn’t turn out so well. Jesus’ head is in the shape of an egg, the person on Jesus’ right looks like a thumb. The guy on Jesus’ left looks happy but tired, which is a really weird expression. I was trying to make it look like a kid made it and I accomplished that because I’m not a good drawer. What I was trying to get by to people is that’s its hard to recreate a famous painting as complicated as The Last Supper. I enjoyed this project because I had lots of laughs as my friends were by my side working on their projects too.
