Activity 1.1: Images into Descriptive Words
Open the image posted below. It is a painting by Pierre Auguste Renoir in the artistic tradition known as Impressionism.
Look carefully at the painting. Because it is an "impressionistic" representation of a scene, the painter did not intend for you to see every detail clearly as you would in a photograph. What "impression" do you have when you look at the subject of the painting?
In a paragraph of between 125-150 words - [double-spaced, using Times New Roman font, and posted on Moodle as a PDF file] describe what you see; what mood the painting captures; and what story and experience the painter might be trying to tell? Do you like the image - why or why not? Can you relate personally to the setting, the subject, and the mood? THESE ARE ALL QUESTIONS TO PROMPT YOU TO WRITE AN INTERESTING REFLECTION ON THE PAINTING.
