ABOUT THE ARTIST: Claude Monet was born in Paris, France, in 1840. He moved with his family to the port city of Le Havre in 1845. By age fifteen, he had established himself as a local caricaturist. It was during this time that he attracted the attention of French landscape artist Eugene Boudin. From Boudin, Monet was introduced to plein-air (open air) painting and the pure beauty found in nature. His aspiration to pursue a life as an artist confirmed, Monet left for Paris against his familyʼs wishes. At age twenty, Monet served in the French army and requested duty in an African regiment. Exposed to intense light and color while in North Africa, the artist once remarked that they “...contained the germ of my future researches.” In 1862, Monet convinced his father of his commitment to painting and obtained his permission to study art in Paris at the atelier (studio) of painter/teacher Charles Gleyre. In 1865, the artist earned admission into the Paris Salon (an annual government sponsored art exhibition) with two seascapes paintings. In the latter half of the 1860ʼs, Monet became the key figure among a group of colleagues whom he met at the Gleyreʼs studio, including Frederic Bazille, August Renoir and Alfred Sisley. In 1870, the artist left France for London, due o the Franco-Prussian War. In London, he met Paul Durand-Ruel, who became his art dealer for the next fifteen years. Frustrated and discouraged by the frequent rejection of submissions to the Paris Salon, Monet and these fellow artists organized the Societe Amonoyme des Artistes Peintres, Sculpteures etc., and held an independent exhibition. The comments made by art critic Louis Leroy about one of Monetʼs pictures, Impression, Sunrise, inspired the name for the new movement - Impressionism. By 1876, Monet sought new patrons and collectors for his work and accepted the commission of Ernest Hoschede, a financier. The artist enjoyed some financial success in the 1880ʼs and announced his independence from the Impressionist the group. 2 In 1890, the painter bought land and a farmhouse in Giverny (pronounced Zhee-vare-ney), France (forty miles northwest of Paris), and began to transform his property into fertile gardens. The gardens at Giverny served as an outdoor studio for the remainder of his life. Failing eyesight made work difficult for the artist and by 1908, his eyes began to weaken. With a diagnosis of a double cataract condition, Monet stopped painting. The regime of prescribed medication, however, motivated the artist to resume painting and at age seventy-five he began a monument in France. The monument, known as the water lily (Nympheas), focused on the interrelationship of colors resulting in abstract forms. The large panels were installed and dedicated in the Orangerie, in Paris, in 1927, one year after Monetʼs death. ABOUT THE ART: Subject of the Painting Monet moved to Giverny, France in 1883. Ten years later, he begun excavating a large pond. His pond, like his canvases, was deliberately designed and executed to be a curvilinear pattern of water lilies - random and natural. Les Arceaux Fleuris, Giverny depicts an arching bower of pink roses reflected in the water of the pond. Technique and Style Claude Monet painted primarily outdoors on unprimed, white canvases and used long, flexible brushes. Les Arceaux Fleuris, Giverny reflects the artist use of complementary colors and a limited palette - barring black from his canvases. He painted using a brush loaded with pure color from a tube. He would lay the colors down side-by-side, carefully juxtaposing and layering rather than mixing the hues. Typically, Monet would sketch out a preliminary composition onto his canvases in charcoal, and develop the artwork directly with his oil paints. A painting session lasted as long as the effect the artist wished to capture lasted - sometimes an hour, often less. The Impressionistsʼ goal was to record impressions of observed phenomena, essentially illustrating the expressive and conditional qualities of an object. In the latter stages of his life, Monet became increasingly interested with tonal harmonies and color and less with observed fact. *Note that there is a Venezia Series biographical book on Monet. You may check it out fron the library for use during your lesson. the book should NOT leave the Tarwater campus. You can use the book as a read aloud, but most likely you will only have time enough to use selected pages to enhance your lesson. *Additional posters of Monetʼs work will be available in the supply tub. QUESTIONS AND POINTS FOR DISCUSSION: ✦Ask the students to describe the a scene depicted in the picture. What time of day has Monet illustrated here? ✦Notice that the artist has placed the viewer within the pond; we do not witness the waterʼs edge in this scene. ✦Discuss the complementary colors Monet utilized in the painting like red and green (a color wheel is a helpful visual aid for this discussion). What effects do they have on the viewer? ✦Ask the students to imagine an outdoor environment that they could design themselves. What types of elements might they include - a bench, a bridge or perhaps a small stream? Would their “garden” be formal and precisely groomed or meandering and natural? Discuss some possibilities with the students. 3 Art Terms: Abstract - Characteristic of art in which objects are not rendered in a naturalistic or representational way, but instead, are simplified or distorted to some extent, often in an attempt to convey the essence of form. Complementary Colors - Hues directly opposite one another on the color wheel and therefore assumed to be as different from one another as possible. When placed side-by-side, complementary colors are intensified. Composition - The organization of lines, shapes, colors and other art elements in a work of art. Impressionism - An art style of the late nineteenth century, principally in France, in which artist tried to capture in paint the fleeting effects of light, shade and color in natural forms. Plein-air - Out-of-doors or open air painting. PROJECT: The students will create the impression of a flower garden in collage style with torn bits of brightly colored paper. Each student will receive a white sheet of paper (6 x 9) for a background. Groups of students may share sheets of colored paper. Show the students a sample of the project, and remind them to tear small pieces of each color to create an impressionistic look. Looking at some flower garden photos from a magazine or book will help generate ideas for flower choices and garden arrangements. First, the students should tear “fingernail-sized” or smaller bits of colored paper. Then they can arrange the bits of paper into various flowers before gluing. The students should try to fill most of their white papers with the bits of colored paper, but they can also fill in white background areas with crayon when they have finished the collage. Each studentʼs artwork can be mounted on a 9 x 12 sheet of colored construction paper. Have the students sign their artwork. The artwork can be displayed or filed into the studentsʼ portfolios. SUPPLIES: 6 x 9 sheets of white paper Scrap sheets of colored construction paper Glue Crayons (optional) 9 x 12 sheets of construction paper (optional).

  • Masterpiece: Monet Painting in His Garden, 1913 by Pierre Auguste Renoir
    Masterpiece: Monet Painting in His Garden, 1913 by Pierre Auguste Renoir Pronounced: REN WAUR Keywords: Impressionism, Open Air Painting Grade: 3rd Grade Month: November Activity: “Plein Air” Pastel Painting TIME: 1 - 1.25 hours Overview of the Impressionism Art Movement: Impressionism was a style of painting that became popular over 100 years ago mainly in France. Up to this point in the art world, artists painted people and scenery in a realistic manner. A famous 1872 painting by Claude Monet named “Impression: Sunrise ” was the inspiration for the name given to this new form of painting: “Impressionism” (See painting below) by an art critic. Originally the term was meant as an insult, but Monet embraced the name. The art institutes of the day thought that the paintings looked unfinished, or childlike. Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include: visible brush strokes, open composition, light depicting the effects of the passage of time, ordinary subject matter, movement, and unusual visual angles. As a technique, impressionists used dabs of paint (often straight out of a paint tube) to recreate the impression they saw of the light and the effects the light had on color. Due to this, most Impressionistic artists painted in the “plein-air”, French for open air. The important concept for 3 rd grade lessons is the Impressionism movement was short lived but inspired other artists from all over, including America, to begin using this new technique. Each of the artists throughout the lessons brought something new and a little different to advance the Impressionistic years. (i.e. Seurat with Neo-Impressionism and Toulouse-Lautrec with Post-Impressionism).

  • Monet and American Impressionism
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resource Monet & Impressionism About the Artist Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. He enjoyed drawing lessons in school and began making and selling caricatures at age seventeen. In 1858, he met landscape artist Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) who introduced him to plein-air (outdoor) painting. During the 1860s, only a few of Monet’s paintings were accepted for exhibition in the prestigious annual exhibitions known as the Salons. This rejection led him to join with other Claude Monet, 1899 artists to form an independent group, later known as the Impressionists. Photo by Nadar During the 1860s and 1870s, Monet developed his technique of using broken, rhythmic brushstrokes of pure color to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects while depicting his immediate surroundings in Paris and nearby villages. During the next decade, his fortune began to improve as a result of a growing base of support from art dealers and collectors, both in Europe and the United States. By the mid-1880s, his paintings began to receive critical “Everyone discusses my acclaim. art and pretends to understand, as if it were By 1890, Monet was financially secure enough to purchase a house in Giverny, a rural town in Normandy.

  • Claude Monet (1840-1926)
    Caroline Mc Corriston Claude Monet (1840-1926) ● Monet was the leading figure of the impressionist group. ● As a teenager in Normandy he was brought to paint outdoors by the talented painter Eugéne Boudin. Boudin taught him how to use oil paints. ● Monet was constantly in financial difficulty. His paintings were rejected by the Salon and critics attacked his work. ● Monet went to Paris in 1859.

(an open studio were models were supplied to draw from and artists paid a small fee).He also met Courbet and Manet who both encouraged him. ● He studied briefly in the teaching studio of the academic history painter Charles Gleyre. Here he met Renoir and Sisley and painted with them near Barbizon. ● Every evening after leaving their studies, the students went to the Cafe Guerbois, where they met other young artists like Cezanne and Degas and engaged in lively discussions on art. ● Monet liked Japanese woodblock prints and was influenced by their strong colours. He built a Japanese bridge at his home in Giverny. Monet and Impressionism ● In the late 1860s Monet and Renoir painted together along the Seine at Argenteuil and established what became known as the Impressionist style. ● Monet valued spontaneity in painting and rejected the academic Salon painters’ strict formulae for shading, geometrically balanced compositions and linear perspective. ● Monet remained true to the impressionist style but went beyond its focus on plein air painting and in the 1890s began to finish most of his work in the studio. Personal Style and Technique ● Use of pure primary colours (straight from the tube) where possible ● Avoidance of black ● Addition of unexpected touches of primary colours to shadows ● Capturing the effect of sunlight ● Loose brushstrokes Subject Matter ● Monet painted simple outdoor scenes in the city, along the coast, on the banks of the Seine and in the countryside.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

As a renowned Monet expert, professional artist and author, I’ll share my experiences of living at Giverny as I gardened each day in Monet’s gardens in 1985. Since then I’ve enjoyed privileged access to the site, returning annually to photograph, paint and write about the gardens for publication. I authored the best selling book Monet’s Passion: Ideas, Inspiration, and Insights from the Painter’s Garden, and lectured and exhibited my photo murals with Monet’s late paintings at museum exhibitions for over 30 years. All experience levels welcome, to immerse yourself in beauty & creativity. What makes this experience so special? Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926) simultaneously indulged in his twin passions of painting and gardening in the small Normandy village of Giverny, a short train ride from Paris. In 1883 he found a house on a verdant plot of land, and began transforming its grounds into a painter’s paradise, planting extensive gardens of infinitely variable color and form, all to paint. The project occupied the rest of his life and resulted in some of his most famous and beloved paintings.
