My Representation of Wedding Traditions in China and Africa - I do not have that many objects to go from however I have made a lot of effort with all that I could find.
Chinese Tradition
The tea set is to represent the Chinese tea ceremony when I recreate the Arnolfini Portrait the tea set will replace the oranges on the right side of the painting.
I also brought I lantern, the only ones in store thought were pink, blue and white with multicoloured dots, so I opted for the pink one as it was the closest colour to red. I then used Adobe Photoshop, Hue/Saturation to change the colour of the lantern so it could be red I then used the Paintbrush tool to fix the edges up.
If this piece becomes successful I will add more traditions into the background of my recreation of the painting.
African Tradition
The jumping over the broom tradition really interested me, so I brought all I could find around the market and shops in the city centre and used a broom in college (I should of really brought a proper broom that they use) and I 'tried' to decorate the broom in the best possible way that African's would. This in the Arnolfini Portrait will go on the floor on the left of the painting where the groom, shoes and oranges are.
