Students studied Impressionism, a 19th century art movement that began as an association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s.The name of the movement is derived from the title of the Claude Monet’s work, Impression, Sunrise that used very loose brush strokes, which suggested rather than delineated.
Artist: Claude Monet Completion Date: 1873
Students incorporated characteristics of Impressionistic painting into their projects that included: short, thick strokes of paint, wet paint was placed into wet paint, natural light was emphasized and ordinary subject matter of everyday life was captured.
Here are photos from class while they are working on their paintings. Students used photos for reference and used Tempera paints to create their paintings, which are a work-in-progress
