A quick history of Impressionism:
What is Impressionism?
An art movement during the late 1800's that started in Paris. The art can be characterized by tiny brush strokes, ordinary subject matter, and subtle qualities of light!
Impressionistic Artists you need to know!
Claude Monet- The waterlily guy
Auguste Renoir- Women in hats
Edgar Degas- The ballerina painter
*Claude Monet painted the same cathedral over and over during different times of the day. Every outcome was different!
Your project:
You are going paint a landscape in the style of Impressionistic painters!
Your painting must:
1) Be a picture of a landscape that you or someone you know took.
2) Draw your composition on a piece of paper and divide the drawing in half
3) Color the drawing with chalk pastels to experiment with times of day
4) Choose which you prefer then draw your landscape on your final canvas
5) Block in background colors
6) Paint with noticable brush strokes on top of the background colors
