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.

Working as a volunteer with the Meet the Masters program at my sonâs school this past year has been such a great experience. I believe art programs help children build confidence and instill a sense of wonder and curiosity that helps foster creativity. Meet the Masters is so wonderful because it gives young children a taste of art fundamentals while teaching them about the many styles and techniques of artists from around the world and from different time periods. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing each child in my sonâs first grade class create their own unique masterpiece!
