Degas was one of the 1st founders of impressionism, but the name "impressionism" did not appeal his ears, he liked to be called a realist. Most of his pieces have singers, laundresses and dancers with odd color or capturing color. He loved to capture the exotic shapes of dancers, and the powerful voices of singers too. Degas's media that he most commonly used was sculpture, paints, prints and drawings. He usually used nudes colors or softer colors within his pieces, because he studied classical art. Since he was basically born into the art by his parents, he was inspired by his childhood and all the recitals that would preform in his home. He had many artist that inspired his work, the number one artist was Diego Velazquez, who was a Spanish artist in the 17th century .
