Assess students’ ability to analyze how composition, color, and light create meaning in Impressionist paintings. Test identification of compositional strategies (cropping, perspective, focal points), color techniques (palette choices, broken color, complementary contrasts), and lighting effects (plein-air illumination, reflected light, transient atmospherics), and require concise interpretive explanations linking these elements to mood, narrative, and historical context; include short visual analyses and at least one comparative question.
