Impressionism

Impressionism is when an artist takes a quick look at a scenery then goes away and paints it using bold colors and had little detail. These paintings include ‘small, thin but visible strokes.’

These types of painting were first created in Paris by a group of artists in the last twenty-five years of the nineteen hundreds.

Impressionists usually of Nature, People, Paris and Still-life.

• Nature: Was a traditional artwork used for many different types of art, the impressionists used canvases and the pieces of art were usually of ‘rivers or fields or of haystacks’ commonly plain things you would see out in the countryside.

• People: These pieces of art were of informal things like ‘a leisure time activities’ in outdoor places Eg: On the local river or anything like that. Or workmen in country communities at work. And also another type of paintings that you’ve all herd of nude paintings which were orderly back then but not too much now.

• Paris: This was sparingly people wearing the latest fashions as a woman wears the newest scarf available that soots her fashion. Maybe the latest buildings or suburbs that were just getting built or the newest cars or sorts of transport.

• Still-life: Still-life was just mainly impressionists working on there shifting of lights and shades and what happens to the affect of the photo when this is done.
