Impressionism is a form of art that focuses mainly on the reflection of light. Monet was the first impressionist, however he was highly disrespected by critics after his first impressionist piece. This form of art still continues till now.
From your 11 year old friend.
Impressionism started with the concept that atmosphere could be expressed the best by using unbroken colors (not mixed with black or white) and to place the color dots side by side, because the eye connects them altogether and give one totally impression.
The other idea of Impressionism was to catch the moment itself, when the painter is standing in the landscape and the weather is changing every moment.
"I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found - the beauty off the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible." (Claude Monet)
