• Impressionism

• Impressionist art shows life-like subjects painted in a broad quick style, with many short visible brushstrokes that are easily seen and colours that are often bright making up the artwork.

• Works by Claude Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, and Vermeer are included to learn this style.

  Impasto

• A painting technique where paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint appears to be coming out of the canvas.

• The technique is commonly achieved with oil or acrylic paint due to their thicker consistency.

• Can be synonymous with impressionism, the difference being the depth of the paint.

  Chiaroscuro

• The use of strong contrasts between light and dark across an entire composition to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects.

• Works by Rembrandt Caravaggio, and Vermeer are included to learn this style.
