His art style shows the hardships of life and ignores the joyous moments.

He creates melancholy art. none of his characters are showing much emotion. He also likes to use a wide variety of colors because if you look at his other art, you can see he uses a lot of pastels too, not just browns and neutrals.

Im comparing Degas to Billie Eilish because her songs are a bit melancholy or dont show much emotion.

the way I would describe degas' style is a little sad but I think that he uses the roughness of the canvas to convey more than is just in the actual picture.

He paints women and he tends to use darker more muted colors.

It shows the endless loop of ironing ballerina skirts and dancing with them also depicting the loop of what most people have to go through as many have stress due to jobs, money, and family activities and affairs. This means it does not show just ballerina's it just represents the monotonous life that many live. ~J

Degas seems to paint a lot of women, who all seem to be tired or worn out. Degas uses darker colors, like grey and brown. His art is rough because he hasn't blended the colors very much, or at all. His art is semi-realistic.

Degas art shows people working and show little of there faces. And it seems he paints Women. Some of his painting use a lot of brown and look dim.

He uses a lot of dark colors with a beleace feeling and his people are very emphasized in appearing to be the main focus. The seams to be fast and simple. I think that Bob Ross fits this as well his art is fast to create and is simple.

It seems as though he paints a lot of women not really interacting with each other but just doing their job. He also uses a lot of darker colors and the overall feel of the painting is gloomy. His art is rough and it looks like it has a gritty texture. The women in his paintings also seem under the weather  as if they aren't really enjoying what they're doing. From the pictures I have seen it seems his colors are very blunt and muted as if they are just kind of there.

Degas's work seems to be melancholy, as his characters don't show a lot of emotion, and the rough style of his actual painting and the dark colors reflect that. I think that he is trying to represent beauty in the ordinary with the subjects of his painting just doing everyday things. On the same note, he may have painted more women as subjects to poke fun and example the fact that maybe women do the more boring everyday chores, as men are out having fun or earning money.

The creator I chose that is similar to Degas's style, an author, Michael Foley. I chose Michael Foley because he is famous for his books about embracing the ordinary, similar to Degas's style of work.

The paintings use a lot of browns and the people aren't showing much of their faces.

I chose Vera Brosgol who wrote a book that was about an ordinary person who did simple things like Degas' style

The background is rough and he keeps the people showing little of their faces, and if they are showing their faces, the look kind of sad. He likes to paint the people doing work. Those are some of the main things in his paintings. The theme he goes with is a dirty, everyday theme, just like Gary Paulson in Hatchet. He keeps it in a wildly used idea of survival, but by changing it and the way the book is written and not giving up on it, even when it was rejected by publishers, he was able to get it famous.
