It is critical to note that the subverts traditional gender roles in visual media. Historically, in art galleries, the "gaze" was male, and the subject was female (nudes, odalisques). Here, the roles are reversed.

I’m Ellen. I’m the primary author behind Artsy Pretty Colors and the DIY site Artsy Pretty Plants. After having to engineer so many DIY and crafts projects for Artsy Pretty Plants, I realized, more than ever, how important it was to have a good foundation for drawing. Every project starts with a piece of paper and a pencil. And even though I have a formal degree in Fine Arts, most of my drawing skills come from practice. Thus Artsy Pretty Colors was born. I’m here to help you or your kids learn to use their creative minds to develop their artistic talents.
