Impressionism =^.^=

Impressionism is an art style where the artist tries to capture an impress of what the eye sees at a given moment and the effect of the sunlight on the subject. What i can say about impressionism is it's awesome. When you look up close to an Impressionist piece you wouldn't be able to really tell What your looking at. All you would see are colors and short brush strokes ,depending on the artist.

A very famous impressionist artist is Claude Monet. One of the art pieces he created was titled The Haystack, End of Summer,Giverny. The painting as a water looking effect to it. From a far distance you can see there haystacks in the painting. As you move closer the picture starts becoming more blurry and the colors look like they may be separating.

The next painting I'm going to display will be anothers of Monet's called Rouen Cathedral. It's a very beautiful piece. Has the under water looking effect along with an amazing choice of colors. The blue int he shadows seems to pop out.
