My Critiques

4. Claude Monet inspired me, as I don't think I've ever seen an artist paint with his style. I really wanted to try painting like him because his art looks really challenging.

3. He as influenced social contexts as he has made the art form of impressionist popular, and made it popular during his time.

2. I think the elements he uses such as stippling and layering in his art are very effective. I think it really shows the whole scenery while adding a unique factor to the painting. For example, he shows how the light reflects over nature.

1. As a viewer I interpret some of Monets' messages he shows throughout his art, as a form of his appreciation for his surroundings. For example, when he lived in France, he would paint the scenery around him so I took that as him. Trying to show the beauty of the country too many of his consumers for his art.

2. In his final years, Monet also developed a greater appreciation for the aesthetic value of form and colour. The possibilities of a beautiful paint surface with colour harmonies and contrasts were explored when he started to apply paint in tiny strokes, building it up in large fields of colour. He movedtowards abstraction and a modern painting that only involvedsurface effectsespecially in the series paintings of the 1890s.

1. The Impressionist movement, which revolutionised French painting in the second part of the nineteenth century, was led by Claude Monet. Monet continuously painted the scenery and pastimes of Paris and its surroundings, as well as the Normandy coast, during the course of his long career. By creating a distinctive style that sought to depict on canvas the actual act of seeing nature, he paved the path for twentieth-century modernism.

Mediterranean Landscapes + Atlantic Coastal Scenes: In December 1883 Monet went with French Impressionist artist, Auguste Renoir on a trip to the Mediterranean. Monet was so fascinated by its beauty that he returned in 1884 so that he could paint more of the scenery. He was quickly filled with love with the light and warm colours of the Mediterranean and can be quoted as saying “I am living in a wonderland. I do not know which way to turn: everything is superb and I want to do everything. It is terribly difficult, you need a palette made of diamonds and precious stones. As for blue and pink, there is no shortage here.” Claude Monet, 1884

Seine + Epte River: In 1878 the Monet family moved to Vétheuil, a little village in Seine. Monet built a boathouse so that he could explore his environment in search of suitable motifs by boat. He fell in love with the rivers Seine and Epte. So they became a major focus in his works in the late 1800s.
