ArtThis week we are exploring color! We will study the color wheel and take a look at impressionist artist Monet and his cathedral studies of light and color. We will also learn about the post impressionist movement fauvism. How emboldened and inspired by the impressionistic works of artists like Van Gogh, and his use of color, the artists (Matisse, Derain) employed colors in their artwork unexpectedly and with wild abandon. "… when I put down a green, it doesn't mean grass; and when I put down a blue, it doesn't mean sky." - Henri Matisse
