The Impressionists liked to paint outside. Landscapes, gardens and townscapes were popular topics. Painters like Seurat mostly did portraits. What will you choose to paint?

Discussion points
- Impressionism was a movement that started in France in the 1870s.
- Some of its most famous artists were Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas.
- The Impressionists tried to capture the way light and colour changes in a scene. They had to paint quickly, so they used quick and large marks in comparison to the more precise and time-consuming techniques of classical art that was normal at the time.
