Claude Monet


Claude Monet was recognized as being one of the founders of Impressionism. Impressionism got its start when several painters began using natural methods of lighting their work and looking at the world with freshness. Impressionists generally paint landscape and outdoor scenes, they generally work for a very short period of time and then stop as the light changes. Monet found subjects in his immediate surroundings as he painted the people and places he knew best. His landscapes were based on his journeys around the north of France and to London and his return to France after the Franco-Prussian War.  His paintings reflect the areas of Argenteuil, and Giverny, France. His series of the Poppies, really interested me as it reminds me of a local nature persevere from home. I would like to do my midterm project on a landscape scene inspired by Claude Monet’s, Poppy Field.
