Following the footstep of the old masters, I was inspired by the works of Claude Monet. I used “woman with a parasol” and “the water lily pond” to make this piece. By taking the main elements from the two works and created my own version of it.

The main vocal point of this painting is the girl, which is me. She is holding her doll with an umbrella which symbolizes the pure and I am, with the white dress helping to convey those feeling aswell. The reason I am sitting in the pond is because, I like to take a dip in the water. The background is laid with various green representing Monet’s water lily pond, the green represents life and like us we strives to be better at ourselves without forgetting our past.

Hi, my name is Faith and I chose the ‘I am also an “Art Master” category. The reason I chose this category is because I am learning on how to do impressionism. This painting is inspired by Edgar Degas, a famous French Maestro who is regarded as one of the founders of impressionism. He changed art by rejecting the traditional academic ideal and sought his figures in modern situations instead. I am astonished by his artworks as he makes his painting look like it has movement in it. This painting is one of my attempts on trying to capture the moment like what he did. The object of the painting I chose is from the “Swan Lake” dance. I believe that every amazing show always has supporting characters who works behind the scene. But not a lot of people appreciate them enough. In this painting I want to tell everyone that the people who works behind the scenes matters as much as the main characters. They are the one who makes the main Character pop out. Let us all appreciate people even though they are small and not seen because God made everyone to have their own purpose in life.
