Post - Impressionism -An art movement that emerged in France in the late 1880s and was a reaction to impressionism's focus on naturalistically depicting light and color. Post-Impressionists like Van Gogh used vivid colors, thick application of paint and real-life subject matter.They emphasized symbolic content, formal order and structure. Similar to Impressionists, they liked the artificiality of the painting. We will be painting Dutch Post- Impressionist painter Van Gogh's still life "Vase with Irises Against a Yellow Background" 1890.

Registration is required—limited to 12 seats.
