Mona Lisa Smile is a 2003 American film that was produced by Revolution Studios and Columbia Pictures in association with Red Om Films Productions, directed by Mike Newell, written by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal, and starring Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Julia Stiles. The title is a reference to the Mona Lisa, the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci, and the song of the same name, originally performed by Nat King Cole, which was covered by Seal for the movie. This was the first time a female actress had been paid a 20 million pay day by directors, a feat till today has only been achieved by two others.
Mona Lisa Smile tells the story of Katherine Ann Watson (played by Julia Roberts), a teacher who studied at UCLA graduate school who leaves her boyfriend behind in Los Angeles to teach "History of Art" at Wellesley College, a conservative women's private liberal arts college in Massachusetts, United States in 1953.
Upon arriving at Wellesley, Watson is initially caught out by the confident students who have already studied the syllabus and know everything she has prepared to teach them. Throughout the day, she learns of the faculty's initial reluctance to hire her, eventually relenting due to the lack of any alternative candidates. Watson moves in with speech/elocution/poise teacher, Nancy Abbey (Marcia Gay Harden) and the school nurse, Amanda Armstrong (Juliet Stevenson), who warn Watson to watch out for herself. The next day, Watson returns with renewed confidence, surprising her students with modern art not included in the syllabus and challenging their attitudes towards art, including the question "What makes it good or bad and who decides?" The modern art produces curious debate among the students, but is fiercely challenged by one of the students, Betty Warren (Kirsten Dunst).

Oil painting
Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments that are bound with a medium of drying oil —
especially in early modern Europe,
linseed oil.
Often an oil such as linseed was boiled with a resin such as pine resin
or even frankincense;
these were called 'varnishes' and were prized for their body and gloss.
Other oils occasionally used include poppyseed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil. These oils confer various
properties to the oil paint, such as less yellowing or different drying
times. Certain differences are also visible in the sheen of the paints
depending on the oil. Painters often use different oils in the same
painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired. The paints
themselves also develop a particular consistency depending on the
medium.
Although oil paint was first used for the Buddhist
Paintings by Indian
and Chinese
painters in western Afghanistan
sometime between the fifth and ninth centuries, it did not gain
popularity until the 15th century. Its practice may have migrated
westward during the Middle Ages. Oil paint eventually became the
principal medium used for creating artworks as its advantages became
widely known. The transition began with Early
Netherlandish painting in northern Europe, and by the height of the Renaissance oil
painting techniques had almost completely replaced tempera paints in the
majority of Europe.
