Impressionist Pop-Up Book

Impressionism is a style of painting that began in France in the late 1800s. Painters began focusing on the effects of light and use of vibrant colors. Landscapes and scenes of modern life were rapidly painted with choppy, textured brushstrokes. Impressionists favored painting en plein air, meaning they would go outside and paint “in the open air” instead of inside studios. Spring is the perfect season for impressionism because of all the sunshine and new growth happening outdoors.
