• Mary Casett drew this family as

they were going out on a boating
trip.
• We know this without her telling
us because when you steer a boat
you would be surrounded by water
• She has clearly painted a dark blue
river surrounding them more like
a 3d shape.
• Like she always does with lots of
her paintings she tries to include
relationships and friends or family.

• Mary Casett has drawn this picture as a 3d perspective to

show the reader this happening in a reality and not
artificial.
• Mary Casett has drawn a woman cleaning a child’s feet
probably because of dirt.
• Mainly she has used the perspective of a relationship
between the boy and woman.
• The woman doesn’t seem to mind cleaning the boy’s feet
even though she could get her hands dirty too because she
loves that boy and that is how she shows she loves him.

• Mary Casett drew this picture using a colour drypoint

showing that this type of painting technique is much clearly
visible and has neat Background.
• Mary Casset drew this picture and her imagination she used
was mainly about a little girl (just she was) trying to
accomplishing paperfolding (in this state).
• This painting accomplished by Mary Casett was not about
relationship but was showing the same amount of effort she
put to achieve the Avante-Garde Art of Movement Award.

• Mary Casett has drawn the picture showing

where the woman and child where living in
and the Background also shows they live in
the depths of a forest showing she used a
range of colours to describe how it looked.
• She also drew a child and mother together
because her main theme that we have to
understand is she is linking not all but a lot
of her pictures to relationship friends and
family in her pictures.
