Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s. Impressionism is different from other movements because it uses many brush strokes in an array of colors and focuses on a contemporary subject.
When I was assigned this project we were told to look on Pinterest for inspiration for our piece. I found many examples of morphing animals in non-living objects, but one stood out to me. I saw a circus scene with a man on a unicycle with a girl on top of him with her dress acting like the wheel on the unicycle. Using that piece I decided to make a ballerina with her tutu or dress being the top of an umbrella. I really enjoyed putting this piece on a canvas because I think it makes the art look better than if it was on paper. In a future piece I may try a different medium and also I would find another place to put the raindrops since umbrellas are supposed to protect people from the rain. Overall I really enjoyed putting this piece together, by looking for inspiration at the beginning of the project really helped pull my ideas together in the final project. |
