My Adventure at the Museum / 44th Edition

PUT YOUR BRUSHES IN MOTION.

Does the figure in the painting move, or is it just an illusion? How can you show movement on the surface or in space? When exploring the museum galleries, pay attention to MOTION, how the artist makes you feel the elements moving that they have placed in the work of art and suggest your own motion! It’s about the approach to the topic, the care of execution, and inspiration from the museum collections.
