Art History, Period 1, Class 10 [3-28]

"We are now going to skip forward a bit to another major art movement," Steve said at the beginning of class as he handed out informative packets, "or rather, two major movements of the nineteenth century: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. There's a lot here and not a lot of time to do it in, so I'm going to just hit the high points. Both movements were centered in France, and they were about breaking the rules. They left the studios, they used brush strokes however they wanted to to get the effect they wanted. Many of these artists are still hailed as masters: Monet, Cezanne, Pisarro, Renoir, Van Gogh...the list goes on. In fact, the list is so long, I'd like everyone to review your packets and pick out an artist you find interesting, then tell the class why."

Read your packet, take notes, nap, etc.

Savannah was making notations in her packet.

A.J. took his notes, to the tune of that Don McLean song. It was just topical.

Naomi read over her packet and took notes.

Inara dedicated herself to very thorough note-taking and tried to pretend that she wasn't experiencing ten different kinds of death by mortification.

Naminé was taking notes. And doodling. Couldn't stop the doodling.

"Personally, I admire Paul Signac quite a bit. He did pen-and-ink sketches made up of tiny dots. I don't have that kind of patience," Steve admitted.

A.J. couldn't help focusing on Van Gogh a bit. And not just because of the Don McLean song.

"You gotta respect the genius of a guy like that. Lobbing off an ear and making art like that? Come on."

"I'd have to say Monet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monet)," Naminé said. "The tiny, thick brushstrokes, adding up to such soothing end results. And yet I'm convinced there's something going on just under the surface of the Weeping Willow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Claude_Monet_Weeping_Willow.jpg). I'm not sure if it's sinister or just lurking."

If/when she tags in.

Naminé was here. Drawing her own trees.

You know you want to.

Or maybe not. Is up to you.

Whee art! *is nerd*

I've had Vincent stuck in my head all week. Oh, the timing!!! =D
