Monet

= Sainte-Andresse=


 * This artist's full name is Claude Monet.
 * He was born on November 14, 1840 in Paris, France
 * The art period is impressionism. Impressionism is a style developed in the about 1870 in France. The impressionists focused on capturing the overall impression of a scene through effects produced by using lights and color in various ways.
 * He painted this painting in 1867. He was 26 when he painted this painting.
 * Monet was born in France, and he also went to Paris with his friends because they were trying to find a new way to see and depict modern life.
 * In this picture the garden belongs to Monet's Aunt and the two people in the chair are probably Monet's father and Aunt. Monet's father and Aunt are watching the steam ships bringing goods to their town. Monet captured the almost painful brightness of sunshine reflecting of the sea, flowers and gravel paths.
 * Monet spent most of his time drawing ridiculous pictures of his teachers. He was also more interested in how something looked when the sunlight was on it.

 * I choose this art piece for my project because I thought that this would be the easiest. I felt that that I could easily get blended in. When I saw this I knew if I picked this, then I would be siting in the chair. When I dragged myself in this, I then rotated myself so I could sit in the chair. Next, I had to erase and redraw my leg so I would look like I was sitting in the chair. Finally, I chose a texture to blend myself, and I also gave myself rays of sun on my shirt because it looks like there are rays of sun shining, but you cant see the sun.
