    Meet the Artist:


    •Pissarro was born on July 10, 1830 in the West Indies; he died in 1903
    Camille Pissarro •He lived and worked in France
    •Style: Impressionism/Neo-Impressionism

    Pissarro was born on the Island of Saint Thomas in the West Indies
    (today part of the U.S. Virgin Islands) and lived there for the first
    12 years of his life. He went on to boarding school in Paris, and
    then returned to the island at the age of 17 to sketch and paint. He
    developed a strong interest in art and moved to Paris to work and
    attend art school. While Pissarro liked the Impressionist art movement
    that was going on in France, he also wanted to take it in new and
    different directions. For example, unlike the other artists who painted
    beautiful landscapes and people enjoying leisure activities, Pissarro
    wanted to paint people at work. This included peasants harvesting
    hay, collecting vegetables, doing laundry or tending sheep. He also
    experimented with new painting techniques like pointillism, a style of
    painting in which a picture is made from dots of color that blend when
    viewed at a distance into recognizable shape and colors. Imagine you
    are going to sketch someone working: who would you pick and what
    kind of work would they be doing?
