2nd partial: TASK #1 Impresionism vs Creativism

The most important characteristics of Impressionism:

1. It was born in France.
2. Painters tried to capture immediacy.
3. These artists tended to create landscapes that were framed on each side by trees or other structures, and where recession into space was created by carefully measured intervals.
4. They emphasized new compositional devices such as plunging perspective, cropped forms, and compositions balanced asymmetrically.
5.  Often pyramidal in form, the central image was flanked on either side with similarly weighted forms.
6. Many artists employed purples, yellows, and other colors to suggest colored shadows and reflected light.
7. Artists traditionally mixed paints on their palette to achieve a certain hue or color before applying it to the canvas.
8. Paintings appeared to have a flat or smooth surface.
9. Use of a high horizon line that often creates a plunging perspective.
10.  figures in snapshots created the sense of movement and spontaneity that the Impressionist artists wanted to achieve.

The most important Impressionist artists:

• Vincent Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, or Cézanne

  Le dèjeuner des canotiers
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
(25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919)
Was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
The painting is 130 x 173cm. It is inspired by a reunion of friends that celebrate the grand oppening of  a terrace "L'Auberge du Père Fournaise".
I think Renoir is a creative artist because he imagines or maybe pictures exactly what he is watching but giving his work a little from himself.  I liked how in this drawing he describes really beautifully the human body and the relationships one has with another. I love that he carefully transmits every single detail from the scene he is watching.
