  2. Impressionism • Is an art movement and style of painting that started in France during the 1860s. Impressionism is a light, spontaneous manner of painting • The movement's name came from Claude Monet's early work, Impression: A Sunrise, which was singled out for criticism in an exhibition. The style captures light in a scene.

  3. ImpressionismClaude Monet • “IMPRESSION, SUNRISE”,1872 gave the name to the entire Impressionist movement. • Although the work of the Impressionist painters appears very spontaneous, they carefully and scientifically planned their work.

  8. Impressionism • Light and Color • The Impressionists used vibrant, light colors, sometimes mixed directly on the canvas. This technique and application was much different than the darker colors used earlier in traditional art.

  9. Impressionism • Brushstrokes: • Fascinated with capturing movement, Impressionists applied their paint with quick, brushstrokes.

  10. Impressionism • Outdoor setting: • The Impressionists valued nature as a subject for their paintings. Unlike academic artists, they painted real life landscapes as they saw them. • Rather than painting historical, religious, or mythological subjects, the Impressionists chose to paint everyday scenes from the world they knew.
