What makes this person's art great:
What makes his art great is the way the painting effects are or that they are unique.
He would also make them somewhat pop out like 3 dimensional. He would also
study nature and use science to make his paintings.
What made me pick this person was that I had always heard about him and I
wanted to learn more about him, like was he born with that talent or did someone
show him at a young age. One of this paintings that I enjoyed was the Mona Lisa
because it was all over my elementary school and it was interesting to see her
because it was a really beautiful painting of a women.

Mona Lisa

The work I am critiquing is called Mona Lisa. The

artist name is Leonardo De Vinci, when I see this
art I see nothing but happiness or peace, I see her
living a good life. What makes this art pop out is
the shading of the painting. The dark colors also
make her pop out. The mood of this art makes it
look kind of sad because of the dim colors but it
also makes it look happy because she has a smile
on her face. The artist was probably trying to send
a message out saying that no matter in what

condition always be happy or just be happy in

whatever time. I like this art work because I have
seen this drawing a lot growing up and it always
caught my eye I dont if it was the way it was
drown, I am not sure, but it always ended up
catching my eye when I was younger.
