I am sophomore in College majoring in Sociology and minoring in art history. Absolutely love studying art and learning more about the complex history or story that is  interconnected with the piece. Impressionism is my favorite style in painting and favorite artist is Edward Degas. This is because of the graceful movement of the dancers  that he is able to capture in his work. I appreciate lively paintings with color and movement but also I enjoy simple portraits of people as it allows the viewer to explore the physiological stance of the artist and the time period. This can be identified also in landscape paintings from the color palette, the brushwork and the lines and shadow but the viewer can identify more with person through one's eyes and facial expression.
