How much to you think you know all ready about what were the revolutionary impressionist painters?  They changed the face of art as you, in our modern day know it.  It is important within your project that a historical background be included.  Take the pre-test before you begin your search and creation of a presentation. Use the pre-test as a guide for the material that needs to be included within your project.

The World Wide Web is your primary material source.  Exploration of museum sites, sites devoted to particular styles and artists will be of interest to you.  The PowerPoint program will be your vehicle of presentation, music and narration will enable your project to illuminate the revolution of the "Impressionists."
