Impressionism

To many, impressionist painters are the best known. From Edgar Degas to Mary Cassatt, the impressionists created beautiful works that are found in museums all over the world–and even more prints of them are found in homes! This book profiles some of these big-name impressionists and shows their famous pieces. Guided by a friendly gallery worker, readers investigate what features one finds in impressionist works as well as the differences between a gallery and a museum. Activities throughout the book encourage readers to try their hand at impressionist techniques and ideas.
