I. Introductory Concept

In all of human history, art has mirrored life in the community, society, and the
world in all its colors, lines, shapes, and forms. The same has been true in the last two
centuries, with world events and global trends being reflected in the art movements.
The decades from 1900 to the present have seen the human race living in an ever-
shrinking planet. The 20th century saw a boom in the interchange of ideas, beliefs,
values, and lifestyles that continues to bring the citizens of the world closer together.

In this learning activity sheet, you will discover impressionism the art movement
that emerged in the second half of the 19th century among a group of Paris-based
artists.

III. Activities

ACTIVITY 1: ART GALLERY

Direction: Find the description of each picture, describing the works of some
impressionist artist. Write only the letter of the correct answer.

A. The name impressionism was coined

from the title of a work by French painter
Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant
(in English, Impression, Sunrise).
1. Impression, Sunrise Claude Monet,
1872 Oil on canvas.

 B. The name impressionism was coined
from the title of a work by French painter
Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant
2. (in English, Impression, Sunrise).
Impression, Sunrise Claude Monet,
1872 Oil on canvas.

C. The painting is loosely based on a

fictional scene from Dante’s Inferno,
showing Dante and poet Virgil crossing
hell’s River Styx, while tormented souls
struggle to climb aboard their boat.
3.
When studied closely, it is seen that
four different, unmixed pigments yellow,
green, red, and white create the image
of each drop and its shadow. Viewed
from a little distance, these colors blend
to represent individual drops glistening
with light. The distinct colors merge in
the eye of the viewer to appear
monochromatic (single-colored) or, in
this case of water droplets, colorless.

ACTIVITY 2. IMPRESSIONIST FAST TRADITION

There were several areas in which impressionist artists moved away from the
established practices of art at that time. These involved their use of color, choice of
subject matter and setting, and technique for capturing light and conveying movement.
Direction: Read the description 1-4 and identify what is being described.
Choose your answers from words written inside the box.

a. Color and Light

b. Everyday Subjects
c. Painting Outdoors
d. Open Composition

1.____The painting conventions and techniques of earlier art periods were very much
concerned with line, form, and composition. In contrast, the impressionists painted
with freely brushed colors that conveyed more of a visual effect than a detailed
rendering of the subject. They used short “broken” strokes that were intentionally
made visible to the viewer. They also often placed pure unmixed colors side by
side, rather than blended smoothly or shaded. The result was a feeling of energy
and intensity, as the colors appeared to shift and move—again, just as they do in
reality.

2
2.____Impressionists also began to break away from the creation of formally posed
portraits and grandiose depictions of mythical, literary, historical, or religious subjects.
They ventured into capturing scenes of life around them, household objects,
landscapes and seascapes, houses, cafes, and buildings. They presented ordinary
people seemingly caught off-guard doing everyday tasks, at work or at leisure, or doing
nothing at all. And they were not made to look beautiful or lifelike, as body parts could
be distorted and facial features merely suggested by a few strokes of the brush.

3.____The location in which the impressionists painted was also different. Previously,
still lifes, portraits, and landscapes were usually painted inside a studio. However, the
impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-changing effects of light on
color by painting outdoors in natural light. This gave their works a freshness and
immediacy that was quite a change from the stiffer, heavier, more planned paintings
of earlier masters.

4.____Impressionist painting also moved away from the formal, structured approach
to placing and positioning their subjects. They experimented with unusual visual
angles, sizes of objects that appeared out of proportion, off-center placement, and
empty spaces on the canvas.

ACTIVITY 3. Manet, Monet, and Renoir

Direction: Identify the title of Impressionism paintings like the works of Manet,
Monet, and Renoir. Choose from the box the title of the paintings and write only the

i. Dancer Auguste Renoir, 1874 Oil on canvas

c. AUGUSTE RENOIR(1841-1919),

2.______ was one of the founders of the impressionist movement along with his
friends Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Frédéric Bazille. He was the most prominent
of the group; and is considered the most influential figure in the movement. Monet is

gardens and water lily ponds at his home in Giver

3.______ along with Claude Monet, was one of the central figures of the impressionist
movement. His early works were snapshots of real life, full of sparkling color and light.
By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke away from the impressionist movement to

III. Activities

ACTIVITY 1: POST IMPRESSIONISM

After the brief yet highly influential period of impressionism, an outgrowth
movement known as post-impressionism emerged. The European artists who were at
the forefront of this movement continued using the basic qualities of the impressionists
before them the vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects. However,
they expanded and experimented with these in bold new ways, like using a geometric
approach, fragmenting objects and distorting people’s faces and body parts, and
applying colors that were not necessarily realistic or natural.

Activity 2: IMPASTO
Creating Your Own Impressionist Artwork: Impasto
One of the most distinctive painting techniques used by impressionist artists
was Impasto. Impasto is the very heavy application of paint to the canvas often with a
spatula or knife instead of a paintbrush, and sometimes even directly squeezed from
the tube.
In this activity you will need the following materials:
¼ illustration board or chipboard
Tubes of acrylic paints (can be shared among the class members)
Paintbrushes
Wooden popsicle sticks
Pencil
Rags for clean up
Procedure:
1. Decide on a simple design for your artwork. Keep in mind what paint
colors are available to you.
2. Using a pencil, sketch in the general design on the illustration board
or chipboard.

3
 3. Apply the paints to your design with the brush, then more thickly
with the popsicle sticks and, in certain spots, squeeze the paint
directly from the tube.
4. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly before handling or displaying the
finished artwork.
