The 19^th Century is a period when some of the most innovational styles and movements in art were born, including Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and Social Realism. This course will survey a sampling of these stylistic approaches to painting that still influence contemporary painters to this day. We will discuss and practice techniques by celebrated artists, including Vincent Van Gogh, John Singer Sargent, George Seurat, Mary Cassat, and Edward Degas. Students will be lead in exercises that explore the colour palettes, brush handling techniques, compositional strategies of these artists. This course is for those who would like some familiarity with art history while practicing techniques that will enhance and expand upon their own personal style. It is also for artists who have some familiarity with the acrylic medium but just need more inspiration for techniques and process.
