...Claude Monet, Famous Person Speech Topic-Claude Monet General Purpose- To Inform Specific Purpose-To inform my audience about Claude Monet Thank you_____. I really enjoyed _______. On November 18, 2016 at Christie’s Auction Claude Monet’s painting called the Muele from his series called Haystack sold for 81.4 million dollars. I’m not very knowledgeable about art, or art history and my interest in Monet is very recent. Monet may not be an artist you like. You may even thing his art is old fashioned but have you ever really looked at his art. A couple of months ago, out of boredom, I really looked at a painting he did in Paris. (if I can find a copy of his painting I need to show it to audience) Take a look, really look and if you do you will see his painting are blobs of color and light....

...In 1840 Paris, France; Claude Oscar Monet was born (Claudemonetgallery.org). Claude Monet was known for many paintings. However, he was most known for his work with impressionism and showing light. His works were very different from the time era’s style, realism. Claude Monet broke out from realism by creating and preserving impressionism. With this new idea, he was able to capture nature and light effects on nature. I found his works to draw my attention to them by their vivid colors, and what effects light has on a scenery. What is impressionism? Impressionism is a movement that a group of Paris artist created. “in 1862 Monet became a student of Charles Gleyre in Paris, where he met Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frédéric Bazille, and Alfred Sisley. Together they shared new approaches to art, painting the effects of light en plein air with broken color and rapid brushstrokes, in what later came to be known as Impressionism.” (Claudemonetgallery.org). His main goal was to show light effects on nature and show how different colors can change a paintings mood. Claude would use vibrant colors, and cool colors. These cool and vibrant colors would contrast against each other. Other paintings he would use just cool colors, others would be vibrant. His works made me feels as...

...it just as it looks to you.” ~ Claude Monet. In the early 1860’s to 1886, French Impressionism took root in society. It was the first complete and radical change in art since the Renaissance. The Impressionists rejected the Renaissance’s balanced composition, idealism, and chiaroscuro, which was a classic technique used for light and shadow. Light and color meant everything, therefore it was easy to see why they abhorred black so much. Simply because it was considered the absence of color. They based their painting technique on how the human eye...

...“I'm not performing miracles, I'm using up and wasting a lot of paint...” – Claude Monet It’s often said that we’re our own worst critic, and that holds true even when talking about highly reguarded artists. Claude Monet was in a way, his own worst critc, but the perfection he sought to acheive has given us so many beautiful pieces and series. What is it about Monet’s work that has allowed it to continue to be admired so may generations later? Monet did not paint for fame or fourtune, but rather to caputure the colors and light of a single moment in time, letting it consume him which, in turn gave us Impressionism. Claude Monet was a french artist who lived in the 1800s and early 1900s. But before he was an artist he was a boy, raised in Le Havre, France. His father ran a grocery business and had no interest in helping Monet pursue his love of art, despite this Monet followed his passion. At a young age he began copying the caritures in newspapers and magazines. As he grew older he started to draw portriats for neighbors to earn some money. He also learned what he could from his aunt who painted merely for pleasure. It was here, in La Harve, that Monet met Eugene Boudin, an artist who had a love for painting seascapes. Boudin introduced Monet to plein aire painting, or “in open air” painting, something that would become instrumental in...

...Comparison/Contrast Research Paper: Topic Proposal Assessment The Impressionist style of painting developed in late nineteen century in France. Until this time color was thought to be characteristic of the object itself, but, the French Impressionists change this conception. Being able to take their tubes of paint, the impressionist artists started doing most of their work outside from their studio. The Impressionist artists “studied” light and how light is reflected or absorbed by the subject they were painting. They observed and sketched endlessly, and tried to recreate light itself with paints and brushes. The French Impressionist well known for his process of exploring light and color and painting under different light conditions is Claude Monet. Monet started painting outside the rural French countryside. Here he made the series of haystack paintings, and each one was painted in different times of the day and seasons of the year. The primary subjects of the series of paintings are the haystacks, that Monet used to explore of how light, color and form changed over the course of day and different weather conditions. Two of his series works can be found in the Museum Of Art in Chicago, IL, and they are: Stacks Of Wheat (End of Day Autumn, executed on oil on canvas and work size is 27 7/8”x 39 ¾ “, 1890/91) and Stack Of Wheat (End of Summer executed on oil on canvas and work size is 23 5/8” x 39 3/8” 1890/91). In each painting, the color of the haystack is different...

...11/2/12 UNHP Port of Dieppe, Evening by Claude Monet I have chosen to write my paper on Claude Monet’s painting “Port of Dieppe”. This painting is in the Dixon Art Gallery and Gardens and part of their Ritchie Collection. After researching a little, I found that Claude Monet was a French painter that lived between the times of 1840 to 1926. He was a founder of the French Impressionist Paintings. He had a number of paintings throughout his life, but to me his painting “Port of Dieppe” sticks out more than any other painting I have seen in the art galleries. This painting was completed in Eighteen Eighty-Two, and is an impressionist style of painting. You can see this with the many short strokes Monet has used to make up this entire painting of a seaport with the skyline above a city and boats throughout the water. This painting somewhat can remind one of the painting “Starry Night” from Vincent Van Gogh. I say this, because of the style of painting that it is. All of the small strokes and blurry features of everything in the painting give it a weird look. It is not a detailed picture of exactly everything that he can see, but at the same time there is a lot of detail in every stroke that he has used to make up this entire painting. This is something that attracts me to this painting. The colors in this painting are very vibrant too. From the title and as you can tell in the painting, it is late in the day as the sun is going down. The sky is made up of many different colors...

...HUMANITIES 1 (RESEARCH PAPER) HISTORY OF PAINTINGS AND ARTISTS IN THE WORLD ADRIAN M SITCHON PROF. PEREZ 4TH YEAR/BS.HRM/NS (SUBMITTED BY) TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION HISTORY BODY * EASTERN PAINTING * WESTERN PAINTING * 20th-CENTURY MODERN * AND CONTEMPORARY DEFINITION OF TERMS * FAMOUS PAINTERS * AND BIOGRAPHY * Paintings of famous painters CONCLUSION RECOMMENDATION REFERENCE INTRODUCTION: Painting can be done in a variety of media. For example, Oils, Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache and Tempera. Paints are made from a pigment, and a binder. Binder is relatively cheap, while pigment is much more expensive. Pigments are a colored powder, made from organic or inorganic materials. (This is different than a colorant, which dyes or stains a color.) All paints use the same basic pigments, but the binder changes. The binder for acrylics dries quickly and the paint is more like a plastic than oils which have an oil based binder and dry slowly. Oil Paints are often built up in layers or glazes. The other paints---Watercolour, Acrylics, Gouache, and Tempera---are water-based, meaning the paint can be diluted with water and clean-up can be done with soap and water. Oil paints, on the other hand, require paint thinner to clean brushes. The number and variety of painting techniques is endless. Besides quality of paint, factors affecting color quality include: paint opacity, glossiness of painting surface...

...need to explore these inequalities to see if they still exist and how this may impact on other young artists. The research methods that I chose were interview, statistical analysis and content analysis, which would provide me qualitative results, as well as quantitative by being able to collect data and statistics. Originally, I planned on conducting a focus group discussion, however as my project progressed, I decided on content analysis as it allowed me to observe a variety of sources and immerse myself in the art world. By choosing an interview I was able to gain insightful knowledge from four females who were either art curators or historians and one male who is an art historian. This gave me qualitative results as I was able to receive in-depth answers from numerous people and allowed and exploration of my cross-cultural by interviewing both genders and gaining their perspectives on this. However, there were some limitations such as by completing my interviews through e-mail, I was not able to ask any follow up questions for answers to be further elaborated. Additionally I only had one interview with a male and four with females, which may cause more perspectives from females and thus, a gender bias. By conducting interviews it supported my secondary research on the representation of women and by interviewing art historians it allowed me to have more research from people who have relevant and experienced knowledge on the topic. My second...

...A Company of Swans Chapter One There was no lovelier view in England, Harriet knew this. To her right, the soaring towers of King's College Chapel and the immaculate lawns sloping down to the river's edge; to her left, the blue and gold of the scillas and daffodils splashed in rich abundance between the trees of the Fellows' Gardens. Yet as she leaned over the stone parapet of the bridge on which she stood, her face was pensive and her feet— and this was unusual in the daughter of a professor of classics in the year 1912— were folded in the fifth position. She was a thin girl, brown-haired and brown-eyed, whose gravity and gentleness could not always conceal her questing spirit and eagerness for life. Sensibly dressed in a blue caped coat and tarn o'shanter bought to last, a leather music case propped against the wall beside her, she was a familiar figure to the passers-by: to ancient Dr. Ferguson, tottering across the willow-fringed bridge in inner pursuit of an errant Indo-Germanic verb; to a gardener trimming the edges of the grass, who raised his cap to her. Professor Morton's clever daughter; Miss Morton's biddable niece. To grow up in Cambridge was to be fortunate indeed. To be able to look at this marvelous city each day was a blessing of which one should never tire. Harriet, crumbling bread into the water for the world's most blase ducks, had told herself this again and again. But it is not cities which make the destinies of eighteen-year-old girls, it is people— and...

...Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon BOOK ONE CHAPTER ONE Someone was following her. She had read about stalkers, but they belonged in a different, violent world. She had no idea who it could be, who would want to harm her. She was trying desperately hard not to panic, but lately her sleep had been filled with unbearable nightmares, and she had awakened each morning with a feeling of impending doom. Perhaps it's all in my imagination, Ashley Patterson thought. I'm working too hard. I need a vacation. She turned to study herself in her bedroom mirror. She was looking at the image of a woman in her late twenties, neatly dressed, with patrician features, a slim figure and intelligent, anxious brown eyes. There was a quiet elegance about her, a subtle attractiveness. Her dark hair fell softly to her shoulders. I hate my looks, Ashley thought. I'm too thin. I must start eating more. She walked into the kitchen and began to fix breakfast, forcing her mind to forget about the frightening thing that was happening, and concentrating on preparing a fluffy omelette. She turned on the coffeemaker and put a slice of bread in the toaster. Ten minutes later, everything was ready. Ashley placed the dishes on the table and sat down. She picked up a fork, stared at the food for a moment, then shook her head in despair. Fear had taken away her appetite. This can't go on, she thought angrily. Whoever he is, I won't let him do this to me. I won't. Ashley glanced at her watch. It was time to leave...

...5 Performance measurement Nonprofit organizations need to view revenue as a resource needed to achieve their missions. Obviously, revenues must exceed expenses over the long-term or an NPO will not survive. —Glenn Rowe Key Topics: balanced score card, customer feedback, competitive comparison, strategic objectives, blue ocean strategy W hat makes an organization “good” at what it does? Or, as Jim Collins (2001) would ask, “What makes an organization great?” Most would acknowledge that accountability, effectiveness, and achievement of desired performance outcomes are minimal requirements for any organization’s success. These requirements demand a measurement system relative to an organization’s mission, vision, values, and strategic plan. This chapter discusses methods for establishing such systems. In doing so, we echo Worth’s (2012) concern that “nonprofit managers must be committed to performance measurement but should not become overly focused on it to the detriment of delivering their mission’s programs” (p. 157). Performance measurement Process Before engaging in performance measurement, it is vital to understand the level and scope of the process. Measurement can be conducted for effectiveness or performance at the program/project or organizational level. Effectiveness relates to achieving the mission, while performance is a broader concept that considers financial results and other variables related to the overall organization. Once the scope and level of...
