The Rebels Who Changed Art

How did Impressionism begin? Who was the first impressionist? Who coined the term?

Dive into the world of Paris in 1874 and discover how a movement that was reviled at the time changed the landscape of art forever!

From the vibrant brush strokes of Claude Monet and Mary Cassatt to the innovative techniques of Paul Cezanne and Edgar Degas, learn how these artists broke away from traditional styles and embraced a new way of seeing the world.

Join us as we learn about the societal influences that shaped this movement, the backlash it faced from critics, and its lasting impact on modern art.
