KidsArt Store Entrance | Books About Art History Books about Famous Artists Monet and the Impressionists for Kids On April 15, 1874, an art exhibit opened that featured some of the most beautiful, well-loved paintings in the world? Well loved today, that is. In 1874, the artists couldn't even give their paintings away. A painting of a harbor scene at sunrise especially outraged one critic. Its title was Impression, Sunrise. Jokingly, he called this group of rebel artists Impressionists. It wasn't meant to be a compliment. Today, the Impressionist artists are considered great masters of the world of art, and their work is loved throughout the world. The colors, styles and images of the Impressionsists are especially appealing to children. 21 hands-on activities explore Monet's quick, shimmering brush strokes, Cezanne's brilliant rectangles of color, Seurat's pointillism, and Degas's sculpture-like circles of dancers.. Included are:
 A great companion book is Color Your Own Impressionist Paintings. Coloring books provide relaxing activities for kids, and allow them to get aquainted with Impressonist masterpieces in fine detail. |
