TRANSCRIPT
Similar to Impressionism in that...
• Artists still used bright colors that were often applied crudely.
• Obvious brush strokes and thick application of paint.
• Real-life subject matter.
Post Impressionism is different from Impressionism because...
• Not as cohesive as Impressionism, in that there were a few smaller "movements" and ideologies within P.I.
• More focus on feelings and emotions through artworks.
• Distorted forms instead of realistic forms in order to show emotion and expression.
• Use of unnatural or arbitrary (random) colors.
Styles within P.I. (some I made up :-)
• Pointilism: The use of tiny dots of color. Artists include: Georges Seurat, Georges Lemmen.
• Purer-Impressionism: Sort of a continuation of Impressionism but with more intention and thought (or so they said...)
• Feelings- and Emotions-based: a way of painting that conveyed a state of mind and showed emotion through the application of paint. Artists include: Van Gogh.
What we will be doing...
How to Collage with Vik Muniz

You will choose one Post Impressionist painting to recreate using collage with a partner. Once you have decided on the painting, I will print you a color version of it for reference.
Included in this assignment will be some research about the painting and the artist.
