IMPRESSIONISM: "Impressions of Paintings"

Students, here is the Task for this assignment.

Task: Your assignment is to pick a painter from the list at the bottom and find out the following information...

Who is the artist? (Just the name.)

What did this artist accomplish during the Impressionistic era? (This is where you find at least two paintings by the artist and find out some information about the painting. This information can be almost anything!)

When did this artist create? (Just the years, nothing more.)

Where did this artist create their work? (Where did they live? Did they paint outside? Did they paint in the studio?)

Why did this artist paint? (The answer is sometimes simple and sometimes complicated. Do the best you can at finding this information.)

After you have done the research, you will condense the information into one of the following final products:

1. A brochure (No pre-made ones, hand drawn and laid out. Or, if you have the resources, you can design one on the computer.)
- Fill the pages! Lots of Images!
- 3 folds, all sides filled.

2. A trifold poster. (Come and see me for one, I will have them available in the classroom for students to take home.)
- The poster must be Full! No blank spots and LOTS of images!
- Think about the elements and principles of art. How you arrange the information can make it or break it!

3. A hand bound book. (Remember when we did these at the beginning of the year when learning about Japanese hand bound books? If you forgot how, come see me. I will give you a refresher. Also, for the materials, come see me. I will have them for you.)
- Pages must be full! Use lots of images! No print out of words, I would like these hand written. This could be a good assignment to practice the calligraphy we learned earlier in the year.
- No less than 5 pages.

4. A video. (If you have the resources.)
- This is pretty open ended. Just make sure to keep it ABOUT the artist. Try to keep it short as well, don't go over 10 minutes and no less than 5 minutes.

If you have any awesome ideas that you think would work for this assignment, come see me! We will talk it over.

Do rough drafts before the final product. Usually your first idea isn't your best idea. Do sketches, write things out more than once, edit. Make them look as best as you can! You are always welcome to show me rough drafts for feed back.

Artists:

1. Claude Monet

2. Camille Pissarro

3. Berthe Morisot

4. Pierre-Auguste Renoir

5. Edgar Degas
