Before we begin, lets do a little reviewing
Claude Monet 1840-1926 Is Considered to be the
father of Impressionism
NOOOO, that is not the name of his
child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMPRESSIONISM was a period in art that was
more interested in the effects of on a
subject- than the subject itself! It was an
attempt to capture the suggestive impression of
light in a scene.

See, it is like a bibliography in Englishonly
artier!!! Sorry Mrs.
Gregory- I had to make up that word to make a
point!

Now lets identify other ART terms found within
our painting Garden at Sainte
Adresse
Drain your brain and think about these
questions! What are the three main parts of a
LANDSCAPE ? What is the SUBJECT MATTER of
this work? Do you see the HORIZON LINE?
Can you find the FOCAL POINT? How does Mr.
Monet use EMPHASIS in regard to the focal point?
8
The three main parts of a landscape
are foreground, middle ground , and background
The Background the area of an artwork
appearing farthest away from the viewer and
toward the top of the artwork..
The Middle ground is the area in the middle
of an artwork
The FOREGROUND is located toward the bottom third
of the artwork. Objects usually appear larger
in the foreground.
9
Subject Matter
Is the subject matter
architecture? Is the subject
matter animals? No, you are
right!!!!!!!- it would be people within a
land/seascape!
10
Now, consider the Horizon line.We have talked
about five categories of lines. Remember?!?!?
Horizontal Vertical Curved Diagon
al Zigzag
11
Toooooo easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next ???. Do you see the Focal
Point?
12
Rememberthe FOCAL POINT is first area of the
artwork to attract the viewers attention
Since Mr. Monet was an artist and not a magician,
how does he keep our eyes returning to the same
area??? In other words, how does he use
EMPHASIS(Art Principle) to pull the viewer back
to the focal point?
13
Were you thinking by LINES?
That would be one wayWhat about placement?
14
Pretty close to the middle, huh?
You really did not think that was an
accident did you?
Mr. Monet knew exactly what he was doing!
15

That is it for today! Tomorrow we will view
another artists work and dissect its
content! The question sheet should now be a piece
of cake!
