Impressionism Workshop
About Your Host
What we'll do
Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterised by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time), ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s. Famous Poppy Field painting shows Monet's passion for color. With dabs of red, he scatters the blooms naturally across the lush green field. One of the world's most famous paintings, it conjures up the vibrant atmosphere of a stroll through the fields on a summer's day in South of France. In this workshop, we will attempt to understand this work by creating your own version. It does not have to be in France.
