In Mrs. Style's class, Mrs. Style went over attendance and she faced the whole class.

Mrs. Styles: Okay, so far we learned about Abstract Art and we did some Abstract Art on our own. We're gonna start with the history of famous Artists. Now there are a lot of famous artists here in France, they've been around before you were all born. Famous French painters became the hallmark of the French culture as we know it today. In France, painting has a long and rich history, since the French rulers had nurtured all fields of art and neighboring practices throughout history. French painting also developed from the earliest Roman murals and Middle Age Gothic panel painting, stained glass, and fresco, to following the Renaissance trends of Italian masters.

Mrs. Styles: In the 17th century under Louis XIII and Louis XIV art blossomed and the French Academy was chartered in 1635.

He did Impression, Sunrise, from 1872. *She popped up a painting he did. *
