Vermeer Painting Made 3D

Our latest Famous Artist is

Johan Vermeer

His pictures are usually of rich, detailed interiors

featuring one or two people posed near a window.

Simple paintings to study and appreciate.

For the painting

Woman with a Water Jug

I prepared a 4-page printout ~ Jan Vermeer Woman with a Water Jug 3D picture

(Click the link for your free download)

I removed the background of 2 of the pictures using MSWord.

Now, the “how to” ~

• Leave the first main full picture complete.
• cut away some of the walls of the background in the next picture
• use foam squares on all the corners
• make a few larger cellotape circles for the insides of the cutouts

• cut away more backgrounds and details in the next layer
• carefully position each layer over the previous layer

• each layer brings the painting into 3 dimensions!

And at last ~ a full, 3D-version of the painting!

A quick, easy and very effective art appreciation lesson.

Give it a try with your kids.

Blessings,
