After having discovered the technique of the Impressionists and their understanding of time, the children will learn to develop their sensitivity and create emotion in the manner of Claude Monet. Using this sheet, discover one of the leaders of the Impressionist movement: Claude Monet. After having discovered the technique of the Impressionists and their understanding of time, the children will learn to develop their sensitivity and create emotion in the manner of Monet. Painting in the style of the Impressionists is being able to find the sense of freedom that guided this group of dissidents. It's submitting oneself to contours without being trapped. The idea is also to give free rein to colour, material and texture. An exciting composition game for all ages! Historic period: 19th century - Impressionism. Claude Monet was a French painter born in Paris on the 14th November 1840 and died in Giverny on the 5th December 1926. Directly linked with the origins of Impressionism with his canvas "Impression, sunrise", Claude Monet went on to dominate this movement that introduced modernity to art in the 19th century. Nicknamed the "Raphael of water" by Manet, he left behind an immense body of work. Context and analysis of the ?uvre Context: At the end of the 19th century, a small group of young painters who broke away from the conventions of traditional painting gathered in private workshops to give free rein to their imagination and desire to create something different.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    The Seward Johnson Atelier Sculpture exhibition MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are there real clothes on the sculptures? No. Surprisingly each sculpture is entirely bronze. The realism of the textures and details is the hallmark of Johnson’s art, and this detailing is achieved with hours and hours of intense labor. Seward Johnson begins each bronze with a twelve inch tall “sketch” in clay, and then enlarges this to life scale in clay. Often delicate textures, such as the skin, can be made more real with fabrics pressed into the still-moist clay at this stage. Sometimes articles of clothing are stiffened with a resin and used in the mold process, but there is no clothing on top of, or under the bronze, in the sculpture that you see today. Other times clay clothing is sculpted onto the figure by the artist using fine-edged wooden and metal tools. As the figures are sawed into many parts for the casting process, there are dozens of roughly welded areas when the parts are reassembled in bronze. At this stage, the artist must replace many of the fine textures; a corduroy, a tweed, a cable knit sweater pattern, with an electric tool that is much like a fine dentist’s drill. This is the most time consuming part of creating these bronzes. It takes up to one year to create a new sculpture. Who does the artist used as models? When Seward Johnson is ready to enlarge a piece from the small gesture sketch into the life size version, he will seek out just the perfect face and body type for the story of the sculpture.

With my own artistic Hue, value, chroma and drawing are all equally important elements. If you neglect one, the others will be aversely affected.

  • Impressionism
    IMPRESSIONISM Eugène Boudin (1824 – 1898) was one of the first French landscape painters to paint outdoors. Boudin was a marine painter, and expert in the rendering of all that goes upon the sea and along its shores. His pastels, summary and economic, garnered the splendid eulogy of Baudelaire; and Corot called him the "king of the skies.” He opened a small picture framing shop in Le Havre and exhibited artists working in the area, such as Jean-François Millet, and Thomas Couture who encouraged young Boudin to follow an artistic career. Boudin, The Beach at Villerville 1864 In 1857/58 Boudin befriended the young Claude Monet, then only 18, and persuaded him to give up his teenage caricature drawings and to become a landscape painter, instilling in the younger painter a love of bright hues and the play of light on water later evident in Monet's Impressionist paintings. They remained lifelong friends and Boudin joined Monet and his young friends in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1873. Boudin, Sailboats at Trouville 1884 Johan Jongkind (1819 – 1891) was a Dutch painter and printmaker. He painted marine landscapes in a free manner and is regarded as a forerunner of Impressionism, introducing the painting of genre scenes from the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age. From 1846 he moved to Paris, to further his studies. Two years later, he had work accepted for the Paris Salon, receiving acclaim from critic Charles Baudelaire and later on from Émile Zola. Returning to Rotterdam in1865 he moved back to Paris in1861, where he rented a studio Jongkind, in Montparnasse, the following year meeting in View from the Quai d'Orsay 1854 Honfleur Sisley, Boudin and the young Monet.

  • Nicolas Tarkhoff (1871 - 1930)
    RA Gallery Nicolas Tarkhoff (1871 - 1930) View from the atelier of the artist in Spring in Orsay 0 signed ‘N. Tarkhoff’ (lower right) oil on board 43 x 32.8 cm Sold The painting was executed circa 1911-1920 The authorship of the painting “View from the artist's atelier in Spring, Orsay” belongs to the brilliant, subtle, intelligent artist, one of the outstanding Russian Impressionists, “Russian Parisian”, Nicolas Tarkhoff. Undoubtedly, the one can compare this artist, who throughout his life never changed his unique painting style, with such famous Russian virtuosos as Konstantin Korovin (1861 - 1939) and Igor Grabar (1871 - 1960). These artists are also united by the fact, that most of their lives they painted in the style of Impressionism, — the occasion which is extremely rare in Russian art. A number of Russian painters of the first half of the XX century had such a period of creativity when they were fond of Impressionism; however, not always it was a successful experiment. Tarkhoff is an exception to this rule; he, a self-taught artist, was able to show his talent and individuality so vividly that his work was highly appreciated by the artist's contemporaries, such eminent cultural figures as Kazimir Malevich, Sergey Makovsky, Sergei Diaghilev, and Alexander Benois. Nicolas Tarkhoff turned out to be the only Russian artist with whom collaborated one of the most significant Parisian art dealers of the late XIX-early XX century, Ambroise Vollard — the same legendary art dealer who made a substantial contribution to the spread of modernist, in particular, impressionistic works among the largest and most important collections in the world, and also worked with such great artists as Manet, Cezanne, Degas, Matisse, Gauguin and many others.

  • OA the Angel Speaks Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 23, 2019 Opera Atelier Marries Past with Present, Song with Dance, in Evocative One-Night- Only Performance of Royal Chapel Concert –The Angel Speaks – Lauded Company Redefines Traditional Concert Experience, Uniting Iconic Music by Purcell with New Canadian Commission for Period Instruments Toronto, ON – Opera Atelier is honoured to present The Angel Speaks, a groundbreaking one-hour concert that effortlessly blends masterpieces of the baroque repertoire with the Canadian premiere of Annunciation, a new commission by Toronto-based composer and violinist Edwin Huizinga for period instruments. This singular performance takes place in the Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery at the historic Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), February 21, 2019, at 8pm. Soprano Mireille Asselin and Baritone Jesse Blumberg will be joined by members of the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra under the direction of David Fallis, alongside Artists of Atelier Ballet. “When The Angel Speaks was first presented to a sold-out audience at the Royal Chapel in Versailles, it was greeted with eight sustained minutes of applause,” says Opera Atelier Founding Co-Artistic Director Marshall Pynkoski, who also stages the concert. “I like to think of the performance as a ‘theatrical intervention’ in which we insert contemporary choreography and specially-commissioned music into a program of 17th century music with baroque choreography. The two styles are meant to overlap with each other, reflect one another and merge into a unique creative endeavour. This innovative concert underlines Opera Atelier’s core belief that creations and techniques from the past can act as important catalysts for creating something vibrant and new for 21st century audiences.” Baroque, contemporary music and dance are united in The Angel Speaks.
