"Waterlilies and Japanese bridge" by Claude Monet, 1840-1926





I am a terrible artist so please bare with me.


Who Am I? I am painted by a French artist. I am from the impressionism period. I am painted at the last year of the seventeenth century. I am given a theme of art and nature. I am painted using oil paints on a canvas. I am 81.28 X 101.6 centimeters big. I am a Japanese landscape of a reflecting pond. My reflection is very important. Overtop of my pond, is a big gray-blue arch bridge that stretches throughout the painting. My bridge is symmetrical. My bridge has four beams and two rails. The beams and rails correspond in the back. I am a painted to look realistic. I am given a lot of shades right under my bridge. Behind my bridge, the pond water has a vanishing point and the monochromatic green grass begins.The grass is the ground of the painting. The grass is in small bunches and also covers both ends of the bridge. There are some small dandelions growing within the grasses at the right end of the bridge. My pond is in front of the painting and is also underneath the bridge. Freely floating on my pond in a smooth and wavy direction, there are a lot of tint green lily pads with pink and yellow flowers on every other lily pad. I am given equal emphasis to the details and landscape. I am very appealing. I caught Lisa’s eyes right away! Who am I?

"Hotel de la Marine" by Charles Marville, 1872-1876, albumen print. This photograph is a good example of symmetry. The lamp post is placed right on the vertical axis of the picture. If you were to fold the picture in half the lamp post would be a perfect reflection to its sides.

"Classic Landscape" by Charles Sheeler, 1931, oil on canvas. This painting truly incorporates the use of lines. There are examples of diagnol lines with the railroad. The clouds are an example of contour lines and the mounds of rocks are of directional lines.
