IMPRESSIONISM

Impressionism also known as optical realism is a movement in French paintings. The name optical realism is called because of its scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects.

In an impressionism painting the artist attempts to capture the impression of light in a scene as impressionism is usually a light and impulsive method of painting. 

Claude Monet

Claude Monet who was born on November 14 1840, in Paris, France was an impressionist. Claude Monet was raised in Le Havre, and by the time he was fifteen he was known as a caricature artist. He was first introduced to outdoor painting by a landscape painter Eugene Boudin who was also a mentor. After being reluctant to leave the indoor scenes Monet eventually became a plein air painter. His artworks were exclusive and easily recognized.

The name Impressionism

During 1874 Claude Monet paintings was exhibited in a private impressionists’ group show where one of his painting “Sunrise” raise the name to impressionists style of movement.

The key element seen in impressionism is colour. after breaking from traditional European painting method impressionism included new element in to the colour so that a new level of tone and an exact colour can be achieved. Some of the characteristic of impressionism are rapid, spontaneous and loose brushstrokes. The realistic portrayal of light, was the leading principle of impressionism. for example if the sun turned the surface of a pond orange then an impressionist would change it to orange. this style allows the artist to capture the image as someone might see a quick glance of the image.

While depicting a scene that is not even real, an impressionist artist can create mood with their bright, vibrant colour outdoor scenes, even if there is no detail or emphasis.


Some of the key element used by Claude Monet was strokes, lightening and bold colors. Claude Monet was most known for broken color methods and it played a gigantic role
In Monet’s paintings. Some of the principles used in Clude Monet were contrast and patterns which can be seen in many of his paintings.

Famous People

    Erik Homburger Erikson

Erik Homburger Erikson was a famous psychologist who made numerous contributions to the field of psychology. Erik Erikson was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1902. Before his birth his family was deserted by his biological father and he was brought up by his mother and stepfather who he grew up believing to be his real father. When Erikson learnt the truth about his biological heritage he was in his adolescence and he kept the truth from people till he was 68 years of age. He was a confused boy with his Scandinavian looks because he was brought up to believe that he was a Jew.  Erikson’s need to find his own identity arose after he graduated from public school. This was when Erikson began his journey to find himself and threw caution to becoming a doctor which was what his step father wanted. He believed him to be an artist and set about on a journey of travel in Europe which ultimately brought him in contact with Sigmund Freud.

Erik Erikson’s fight with his own identity led him to actions that he later acknowledged as someplace between neurotic and psychotic. This also presented him with an intense closure into the problems connected with identity, specifically amongst young children and adolescents.
