2. Write on a piece of paper what you imagined while listening to the music. Reflect on it.
3. Unlocking of terms
Impressionism- is an art movement that sought to represent in their works: the viewer’s 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
positioned—just 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.
2. Impressionist Painters
Edouard Manet
He was one of the first 19th century artists to depict modern-life subjects. His works include
Boating and A Bar at the Folies-Bergere.
Claude Monet
He is considered the most influential figure in the movement. Monet is best known for his
landscape paintings, particularly those depicting his beloved flower gardens and water lily ponds
at his home in Giverny. His works include Woman with Parasol and Water Lilies.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
His early works were snapshots of real life, full of sparkling color and light. His works include
Luncheon of the Boating Party and The Umbrellas.
Vincent Van Gogh
His works were remarkable for their strong, heavy brush strokes, intense emotions, and colors that
appeared to almost pulsate with energy. His works include Starry Night and The Bedroom.
