Influence Boards
Claude Monet
I choose him as my influence and inspiration; because of his artwork that he has done during his period of time.He was “one of a group painters who created “Impression”. I remember during my high school days in the Philippines my art teacher shown us Monet’s painting in the class. During that time I was amazed on his painting especially the ‘Water Lilies’. His texture using his brushstrokes, I notice that his technique which varies from thinking to thin, with tiny dabs light, adding contours for definition in all his painting, he also working the color from dark to light.
Tim Burton
His one of my favorite director of all time. One my favorite Tim Burton’s movie would be the “Corpse Bride” it was released in 2005; this shown the truly and uniqueness piece of the movie because of his artwork. In all Burton’s movie, you will know from the start that this is his movie because of his”dark and Gothic” stop motion film this is his trademark and people will remember him.
Hayao Miyazaki
Hayao Miyazaki is one of my favorite Japanese directors; he is Japan most successful filmmaker cultural exports. In 2001 film “Spirited Away” the story is all about “a young girl exploring a bizarre fantasy realm to find a cure for her parent”. This captive and inspired me because as a daughter who I love and I willing to do everything for my parent just to save them. This is film won the “Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003.” I believe that this film deserves to win the title because it has an amazing story that inspired young children and adult as well. The film aimed at children, with a sophisticated theme that is really suitable for children.
Takashi Murakami
I went to Tokyo Japan in 2010. I went to see Murakami he is the biggest “contemporary art in Japan”. According to his pointed out that, unlike the west, Japanese artists have used flat, in which his 2-dimensional imagery for centuries and continue to use it in anime and manga, to this day. As the biggest fan of Japanese culture I learned the most Japanese artist they are using “post-war pop culture” in Japan they come up with the super-flat art movement. This mean the “Superflat, a term coined by artist Takashi Murakami to denote his anime-inspired style of art, is used by other artists in Asia and abroad.”
Robert Wise
He is the “American movie director and producer”. He has direct of one amazing film and one of my favorite classic film of all time; the Sound of Music”. Why I like this film so much even though that this is the old classical film it’s about a love of life, trust, family, friendship, and partnership is genuinely inspiring and rings eternally true. I could say that I have watched this film several times which I really enjoy watching it until now.
Updated;

I have been interested in horror films and this is my favorites genre. I chose James Wan he is a famous director and his been directing horror film and different genre this include one of my favorites horrors all (The Conjuring) series. All of the horror films that he’s been directing I have watched and it is good that makes you jump on your seat. Not only his good in horror films but he can have different genre example the “Fast and Fusion 7”, this is one of my favorite films.

He is one of my favorite directors because he’s been directing animated Disney film. Recently, I have watched Moana which is one of my favorite Disney films so far I like the film because of the moral value of life. It has a good storytelling which I fall in love this film.
