Grade Ten Art

Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet painting, aptly named "Impression Sunrise" (Impression, soleil levant) in Le Charivari. Characteristics of Impressionist painting include visible brush strokes, emphasis on light play, open composition, movement, and unusual angles. The Grade 10 class has currently created their own Impressionist paintings, with landscapes being the primary subject matter. With images from the Pacific Coast to the jungles of Thailand, their work is a celebration of colour and atmosphere. Well done, Grade 10s!
