9. Informing my own ideas As a creative person I find inspiration in the impressionists way of free thinking. Capturing something that they feel is beautiful and not what other people are telling them is beautiful. There use of color and mark making is expressive and fun and I try to exude this in my own work. I also admire the communion and friendship that impressionism emulates and feel that in the creative industry I would like to express these morals.
