Assess students' ability to analyze symbolism and compositional strategies in Impressionist paintings, including identification of recurring motifs (light, color, leisure, urban modernity), examination of brushwork, color harmony, perspective, cropping and focal placement, and interpretation of how these elements convey mood, narrative, and historical context; prompts may require close visual analysis of specific works or comparative explanations across artists (e.g., Monet, Renoir, Degas) with evidence-based reasoning.
