3. Unlocking of terms
Impressionism- is an art movement that sought to represent in their works: the viewers momentary
impression of an image. It was not intended to be clear or precise, but more like a fleeting
fragment of reality caught on canvas, sometimes in mid-motion, at other times awkwardly
positionedjust as it would be in real life.
C. Learning Activities
1. Discussion: Principles of Impressionism
It uses short broken strokes that were intentionally made visible to the viewer. They also
often placed pure unmixed colors side by side, rather than blended smoothly or shaded.
3. The result was a feeling of energy and intensity, as the colors appeared to shift and move
again, just as they do in reality.
It presented ordinary people seemingly caught off-guard doing everyday tasks, at work or
at leisure, or doing nothing at all.
It captured the ever-changing effects of light on color by painting outdoors in natural light.
They experimented with unusual visual angles, sizes of objects that appeared out of
proportion, off-center placement, and empty spaces on the canvas.

at his home in Giverny. His works include Woman with Parasol and Water Lilies.
