His style intrigued Renoir and Monet who then went on to become famous in their own right. Pointillism came later (Georges Seurat is the most famous I can think of right now with his now famous painting "Un dimanche après-midi à l'Ile de la Grande Jatte"). I did a unit on impressionism for my grade 4s and then followed up with pointillism - they loved making pictures just with dots and were very creative with their work.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-68269311641456083042007-06-09T07:55:00.000-07:002007-06-09T07:55:00.000-07:00I have always liked Dali--but I get Monet and Mane...I have always liked Dali--but I get Monet and Manet so confused.<BR/><BR/>Never mind political correctness.<BR/>One of those SOB's was a Pointillist! :)<BR/><BR/>IvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-81717859002445763952007-06-08T22:04:00.000-07:002007-06-08T22:04:00.000-07:00Well, before the fabulous art exhibit, I'm going t...Well, before the fabulous art exhibit, I'm going to hit the village market on Sunday.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-68692113882084273632007-06-08T13:57:00.000-07:002007-06-08T13:57:00.000-07:00Oh I would love to see this exhibition.

When I was at Giverny, I bought 2 copies of Monet's works and had them professionally framed when I came home. They're hanging in my hall today. I absolutely adore them!<BR/><BR/>Ingrid - yes I also wonder what the value of the originals would be.<BR/><BR/>Pam - Josie and I can hardly wait to see the show. And yes my grandson is a darling - he's very good and polite, too. I'm proud of my daughter and SIL for how they are raising him with love and consistency.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-7575459141043640092007-06-08T03:12:00.000-07:002007-06-08T03:12:00.000-07:00Leslie I'm in!!This sounds fantastic, an absolute ...Leslie I'm in!!<BR/><BR/>This sounds fantastic, an absolute ripper of a show...I haven't been able to visit much lately, yahoo and google have been ill or something and keep dropping out, sometimes I can access the front bit of people's blogs and no more!<BR/><BR/>Kinda like tapping through glass and watching a fun party but can't get in...this art show is amazing<BR/><BR/>Your grandson is beautiful!

My hubby and I go for two or three week cruises to different places to see all different things. I love art. I love the one you put up. It is amazing to me the talent one human can have to create such beauty in this world. I would love to see more.<BR/>lisaPROUD AMERICA/LIVING LIFEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309206725770503527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-45054941099867792452007-06-07T21:16:00.000-07:002007-06-07T21:16:00.000-07:00Well, just one guess who wants to join you?
