 What’s New
To help you understand the revolutionary technique for applying color
introduced by the impressionists, experiment with this simplified process:
1. Take a set of watercolors (cake type or in tubes). Choose one secondary
color: orange, green, or violet.
2. Color a shape on a paper using this single secondary color.
3. Beside it, color a similar shape using strokes of the two primary colors
that are combined in that particular secondary color
(ex: red + yellow= orange; blue + yellow = green; red + blue = violet).
4. Hold the paper some distance away and ask your classmates to
comment on the “impression” of the secondary color you have created
and the actual color itself.

What is it

This part of the module will provide you a background in the history of
Modern Art Era. It is very important for you to learn the basic concepts that
you will need as you go on with the lessons.
Our discussion will focus on the proponents and their artworks that
arise on the certain art movement.

Lesson 1

Impressionism – Origin of the Movement

It was an art movement that emerged in the second half of the 19th
century among a group of Paris-based artists. The duration of the
impressionist movement itself was quite short, less than 20 years from 1872
to the mid-1880s.
The name impressionism was coined from the title of a work by French
painter Claude Monet, Impression, soleil levant (in English, Impression,
Sunrise).

 Impression, Sunrise Claude Monet, 1872 Oil on canvas

The term precisely captured what this group of artists sought to represent in
their works: the viewer’s momentary “impression” of an image. It was not intended
to be clear or precise, but more like a fleeting fragment of reality caught on canvas,
sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly positioned—just as it would be
in real life.

Characteristics:

a. Color and Light

 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
b. “Everyday” Subjects
 They ventured into capturing scenes of life around them, household
objects, landscapes and seascapes, houses, cafes, and buildings.
 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.
c. Painting Outdoors
 The impressionists found that they could best capture the ever-
changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light.
d. Open Composition
 They experimented with unusual visual angles, sizes of objects that
appeared out of proportion, off-center placement, and empty spaces
on the canvas.

By the 1870s, the stage was set for the emergence of the next major art
movement in Europe, impressionism. It started with a group of French painters—
that included Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir—and eventually
spread to other countries, such as Italy, Germany, and The Netherlands.

5
 A. EDOUARD MANET

Edouard Manet (1832-1883) was one of the first 19th century artists to depict
modern-life subjects. He was a key figure in the transition from realism to
impressionism, with a number of his works considered as marking the birth of
modern art.

B. CLAUDE MONET

Claude Monet (1840-1926) 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 best known for his landscape paintings,
particularly those depicting his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds at his
home in Giverny.

C. AUGUSTE RENOIR

Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), along with Claude Monet, was one of the
central figures of the impressionist movement. His early works were snapshots of

6
real life, full of sparkling color and light. By the mid-1880s, however, Renoir broke
away from the impressionist movement to apply a more disciplined, formal technique
to portraits of actual people and figure paintings.

Post-Impressionism

Characteristics:

 Post-impressionist used vivid colors, heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life

subjects.
 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.

A. PAUL CEZANNE

Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) was a French artist and post-impressionist

painter. His work exemplified the transition from late 19th-century impressionism
to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century—paving the way for
the next revolutionary art movement known as expressionism.

 B. VINCENT VAN GOGH

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) was a post-impressionist painter from The

Netherlands. His works were remarkable for their strong, heavy brush strokes,
intense emotions, and colors that appeared to almost pulsate with energy. Van
Gogh’s striking style was to have a far-reaching influence on 20th century art, with
his works becoming among the most recognized in the world.

What I have Learned

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
thus Modern Art Era came. It was an art movement that emerged in the
second half of the 19th century among a group of Paris-based artists.
Impressionism started with a group of French painters that included Edouard
Manet, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir—and eventually spread to other countries,
such as Italy, Germany, and The Netherlands.
Soon from there new art movement arise. Post- Impressionism emerged
from European countries and continued using the basic qualities of
impressionism and before then enhances their techniques thru vivid colors,
heavy brush strokes, and true-to-life subjects, and 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. Two of the foremost post-
impressionists were Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh.

 What I can Do

Activity 1:

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.

Materials: ¼ illustration board or chipboard

Tubes of acrylic paints (can be shared among the class
members)
Paintbrushes
Wooden
popsicle sticks
Pencil
Rags for
cleaning
Procedure:
1. Decide on a simple design for your artwork. Keep in
mind what colors of paints are available to you.
2. Using a pencil, sketch in the general design on the
illustration board or chipboard.
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.

Activity 2:
Watercolor/ Acrylic Painting

Materials: Watercolor or Acrylic paint

Watercolor Paper/ Oslo Paper
Brushes
Instructions:
1. Watch the link below and choose only one material to use either
watercolor or acrylic paint.
