Week 5: 8/21 A Visual Culture– Art can imitate, praise, or criticize the world around us. That world consists of animals, plants, and the earth. It also contains the things that humans build, such as knowledge systems, technology, and cities. The art, at times, is intertwined with the forms of performing arts, popular culture, and entertainment.

DATES & TOPICS:

Week 1: 7/22 The timeline – Overview of history and buildup of what led to this rebel group, known as impressionist painters. The official Salon opened in Paris in May 1865. Realism was being left behind as artists were experimenting with new forms of artistic communication.

Week 2: 7/29 The founding Fathers –Inspired in part by Edouard Manet, Monet departed from the clear depiction of forms and linear perspective, which were the established art criteria of the time, and experimented with loose handling, bold color, and unconventional compositions.

Week 3: 8/5 Pissarro, and Sisley– Art critics will recognize the talent of Pissarro only at the end of the 1870s. The contribution of Pissarro to Impressionism is essential.

Week 4: 8/12 Cezanne, Monet, and Renior, – These three artists seem to be the most known artists from the Impressionist time period. Their artworks constitute the most powerful and essential link between the ephemeral aspects of Impressionism and the more materialist, artistic movements of Fauvism, Cubism, Expressionism, and even complete abstraction.

Week 5: 8/19 Degas and Cassatt– Degas was a French artist famous for his paintings, sculptures, prints, and drawings. He is especially identified with the subject of dance; more than half of his works depict dancers. Mary Cassatt first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists.
