In the summer term, S17 students explored the art and history of the 19th-century art movement called Impressionism. They have listened to the autobiography of French Artist Claude Monet, Van Gogh etc. Then, they were encouraged to create an Impressionistic landscape such as “The Water Lilies”, “Garden at Giverny” or “Sunrise” by Monet etc. They learned to mix colours on a palette, use flat filbert tipped brush to capture light (details) in painting.
