Screenplay: Our plan is to make a video of an art auction of various art that was done in the nineteenth century. The auctioneer will accurately describe the art and the artist and point out various details about it and then sell it to the highest bidder. We will be printing out various pictures from http://www.treadwaygallery.com/ONLINECATALOGS/Sept2005/salecatalog/0601-0650.html and talk about the artists and what they liked to draw. Some of the pieces that we will show are listed below. 19th century art varies very much from watercolor and just sketches all the way to some sculptures which we will show pictures of because we can obviously not get the actual sculptures. We will be mainly focusing on European art of the time.

Collin will be at a podium auctioning off the paintings to his right. When ready Chris will bring out the painting and Collin will begin to describe them, Collin will than start a price and Mike will than buy it. If we need another buyer Chris can set the camera down and step in to be the buyer. While describing the paintings Collin will go over the artist, the style, the year, and other facts about the picture.

Research:Michael Balles, Colin Borum, and Chris Anderson Impressionism was a 19th-century art movment that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, //Impression, Sunrise// which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in //Le Charivari//. Characteristics of Impressionist painting include visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on light in its changing qualities often accentuating the effects of the passage of time, ordinary subject matter, the inclusion of //movement// as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. The emergence of Impressionism in the visual arts was soon followed by analogous movements in other media which became known as Impressionist music and Impressionist literature.Radicals in their time, early Impressionists broke the rules of academic painting. They began by giving colours, freely brushed, primacy over line, drawing inspiration from the work of painters such as Eugène Delacroix. They also took the act of painting out of the studio and into the world. Previously, still lifes and portraits as well as landscapes had usually been painted indoors .In an atmosphere of change as Emperor Napoleon III rebuilt Paris and waged war, the Académie des Beaux-Arts dominated the French art scene in the middle of the 19th century. The Académie was the upholder of traditional standards for French painting, both in content and style. Historical subjects, religious themes, and portraits were valued (landscape and still life were not), and the Académie preferred carefully finished images which mirrored reality when examined closely. http://www.treadwaygallery.com/ONLINECATALOGS/Sept2005/salecatalog/0601-0650.html list of 19th century artists.
