Synopsis

The French Impressionism movement of the 20th Century Modern Art History ushered us into an era of explosive colours. The creative use of lines from the Eastern culture was also vividly practised by the impressionist artists. It is a period where great masters like Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne created remarkable and unforgettable paintings.This is a beginner course which hopes to introduce the movement as well as some of the artists of the period to the students. The class will also include painting practice for students to recreate a replica of the movement as well as to create their own impressionist painting. Students would be introduced to the Nanyang Style and study how impressionism was localized by the Singapore Pioneer Artist.
