Disappointed...? That's a BIG no!

Reblogged from New York State Of Mind:

• 

There we were, meandering around the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  As well as seeing work by several other of my favourite artists', I'd had the chance to view a couple of my favourite Monet's pieces - 'Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lillies' and 'Water Lillies', as well as a Van Gogh I really liked, so was feeling pretty darned great!

Claude Monet (Art Project) Mono-Print Collage

The Water Lily Pond by Claude Monet

Here is a project that I found it in a  book entitled: Art for the Very Young by Elizabeth Kelly and Joanne McConville. It features a technique made popular by the Impressionist art movement of which Claude Monet was and still is a front-runner. I first discovered this charming painter when I did an assignment on one of Monet’s fellow Impressionists, Pierre-Auguste Renoir for Humanities class in the eleventh grade, high school.

Enjoy!

Fauvrism “The Wild Beasts”

Portrait of Madame Matisse Matisse

Les Fauves, “the wild beasts” is an artistic group that began in the early twentieth-century from 1904–1908 that emphasized strong, bright color over realism using wild brush strokes. The subjects of the pieces were simplistic and abstract, a mode of Expressionism. The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and Andre Derain.
