What's Going On
In The Art Room?

Impressionism

What is a Impressionism?

In this art style, painters like Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, Vincent Van Gogh, and Berthe Morisot, tried to express not only what the scene looked like but also the impression they got from it - or the feelings that were apparent. They often would paint live and would need to do it quickly so they used dabs of colors instead of mixing their paint smoothly.

1. Choose your materials (look below for ideas)
2. Find a landscape photograph that you think is interesting
3. Draw a simple version of the landscape with pencil 
4. Fill in each part of the landscape with a solid color for the background
5. Using many colors without mixing them together dab or dot on different colors into each section
​*Be sure your name and class code is on the back of your paper in pencil
