Evidence? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Claude Monet's created a painting known as Impressionism Sunrise. shown in 1874, this specific painting gave the Impressionist movement its name when the critic Louis Leroy accused it of being a sketch or "impression," not a finished painting. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">During the impressionism period there were many bright Impressionist canvasses that blew people away with their vivid color and details. Thus the impressionism movement began.

To show their wealth they would build huge houses and would fill them with the artwork of the new impressionism paintings and have showings in their home thus spreading impressionism around the world and allowing others to view their works.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">What are the main arguments? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">They show how different people viewed impressionism during the late 1800s <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evidence? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">People were very critical of many of the impressionist artwork saying "J. Alden Weir wrote to his parents: "I never in my life saw more horrible things…. They do not observe drawing nor form but give you an impression of what they call nature. It was worse than the Chamber of Horrors." <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">French impressionism began to lose its edge which causes Americans to begin taking an interest in creating their own impressionist artwork. By the early 1890s Impressionism was a very highly established style of painting for American artists. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of research <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Yes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of scope <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">yes, it hits all the main points in impressionism starting, and how it grew bigger throughout American Culture. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Evaluation of author bias <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Author takes no stance but provides enough information to understand the topic. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Reflection <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">This source was very helpful to my topic.

Many people copied the French Painters. Americans visited Paris to gather information from the wonderful paintings and canvases of the Impressionists. Ten American painters lead an active defense against what they called "poor art" They wanted to show how Impressionists could earn respect and recognition in the world of art.

During 1905 a new era of artist wanted so find the solutions to all of the problems artists faced in America. Thus brought about Modernism and Cubism, which is the most influential movement of Modernism, which artist attempted to find truths of the material world, not as the world appears but on a fundamental deeply abstracted level.

One thing that I learned is the effects that different materials can have on batiking. I was not aware that I can use silk and wool as a material for batiking.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Overall this was a very helpful book because It showed me lots of examples of batiks that were almost exactly the same type of impressionist look that I am going for. It gave me a spark of ideas, and inspired me to take my art journal to the park and the lake, and drawl nature. Impressionism has lots of blur of the world around us and it’s a lot easier to show that through nature. In conclusion I have decided to study the sunset each night, take a photo of it and re draw it, Until I find the perfect night selection of colors to do my work.
