Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French Impressionist painter. Born in 1841, he is widely considered to be one of the leading figures of the Impressionist movement and one of the greatest painters of all time. Renoir's works are characterized by their luminous color, light brushwork, and focus on capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. He was known for his innovative techniques, such as capturing the effects of light and color in a scene, and his works often convey a sense of joy and lightheartedness.
Over time, Renoir's style evolved from representational images to more abstract and innovative works, and he became a pioneering figure in the Impressionist movement. Today, Renoir's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.

I had a parent stop me in the halls and express how much her children loved the curriculum. She was overjoyed that formal art education was included in our school day and that it was a curriculum that challenged the older elementary students, and was able to be done by the younger ones as well. She had a first and fourth grader at the time. I also had an aide who was in the classroom with me while I was teaching tell me how much she loved that art history portion of the curriculum. She said that she wasn’t much of an artist, and as a kid she dreaded craft time, but that the inclusion of the art history would have made all the difference to her as a child. I have students who have complained about going to a good behavior activity (which are always super fun!) because it meant she would have to miss art that week!
