Impressionists explored their own views and painted what they saw in front of them without any prep sketching. They often used a technique called impasto, which is what we used in class to paint the sunflowers. We used popsicle sticks to enhance the texture on the canvas.
The next period that followed was Post-Impressionism. It was pretty much the same, except for their liking for geometric forms, and to use unnatural or random color.
The play we watched for this painting above brought each character to life and told stories about their lives. It was really interesting and the actors/actresses did a great job, even though few people liked it.
