Analysis: What influenced the artist to create the work of art, Past or
Present? What did this work go on to influence?
– Roman artists and scholars looked to the Greek for inspiration. Just like
the Greeks, the Romans were perfectionists, they looked for perfect, god-
like humans. Nature was their inspiration they used human models and
natural elements to support their realism, this idea of using nature as
inspiration became known as “Naturalism”.
– Greek and Roman Art (Classical Art) when on to influence future artistic
movements including, the Renaissance and Neoclassicism. Sculptor
looked to Greeks/Romans for their proportions and mastery of realistic
sculpting techniques.

– Oil on Canvas
– Impressionism 1880s--1900
– Claude Monet
• Artwork Description & Analysis:
– Painted “en plein air”= outside instead of studio. Observed the subtle
changes in light (captured the moment in time on a canvas) In life
light creates colors, while in painting color creates light. Painted more
than 30 variations of the church façade.
– The impressionist used loose strokes and bright colors in a time when
academic painting (Realism/Rococo/ Romanticism/Neoclassicism) was
the only accepted style of art. Impressionism was considered Abstract
art and offensive.
– Influenced by the invention of photography. Now there was a
machine that could capture the likeness of something with the click of
a button- Painting didn’t NEED to be realistic anymore.
