1. Impressionism (1865-1885) Jocelyn Garcia

2. What is Impressionism?
The impressionist artists were not trying to paint a realistic picture, but an ‘impression’ of what the person, object or landscape looked like to them.
Some of the main impressionist artists are Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas.

3. About this template History
The history of modern art begins with Impressionism, a movement founded in Paris as an opposition to the rigid traditions favored by an abundance of institutions such as the Academie des Beaux-Arts.
In 1863, Edouard Manet exhibited his painting Dejeuner sur l’herbe at the Salon des Refuses (exhibition of rejects). The painting caused commotion, thus founding the Impressionist movement.

4. About this template History
The Impressionist style of painting emphasized loose imagery rather than finely delineated pictures. The artists of the movement worked mostly outdoors and strived to capture the variations of light at differing times throughout the day. Their color palettes were colorful and they rarely used blacks or grays.
Subject matter was most often landscape or scenes from daily life. Impressionists were interested in the use of color, tone, and texture in order to objectively record nature. They emphasized sunlight, shadows, and direct and reflected light.
