The French Impressionism movement of the 20th Century Modern Art History ushered us into an era of explosive colors. The creative use of lines from the Eastern culture was also vividly practiced by impressionist artists. It was a period where great masters like Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cezanne created remarkable and unforgettable paintings.

This is a beginner’s course which introduces the movement as well as some of the artists of the period to the students. The class will also include painting practice for students to recreate a replica of the movement as well as to create their own impressionist painting. Students will be introduced to the Nanyang Style and learn how impressionism was localized by the Singapore Pioneer Artist

UniSIM’s assessment strategy consists of two components, Overall Continuous Assessment (OCAS) and Overall Examinable Component (OES) that make up the overall course assessment score.

(a) OCAS: The assessment strategy consists of three (3) components that make up the overall course assessment score. Each component is not equally weighted.

All three (3) assessment components are compulsory. If you fail to submit an assignment by the stipulated deadline (including the automatic mark-deduction period for TMAs), you will be deemed to have withdrawn from the course and will receive a ‘W’ for the course. Your overall rank score is the weighted average of all three components.

The three assignments together make up 100% of OCAS.

(b) OES: There is no examination component.

To be sure of a pass result, you need to achieve scores of at least 40% in each component. Your overall rank score is the weighted average of all three components.
