'Impression Sunrise' (1873)
1.Define the Industrial Revolution and Industrialism.
The industrial revolution may be defined as the application of power-driven machinery to manufacturing. It had its beginnings in remote times with lesser technologies, and is still continuing in some places. all of western Europe began to industrialize rapidly during the 18th century, but for England the process was highly accelerated. England's head start may be attributed to the emergence of the number of numerous factors.
2.Research Monet's painting 'Impression Sunrise'(1873) to analyze the work in relation to Industrialisation.
During the 19th century the industrial revolution was at its peak. Manet illustrates the ideas of progression and the build up to a, you could say, bigger and better world. To the viewer, the sun gives the feeling that it is pulsing. This may be because our eyes are so used to seeing the sun in our everyday lives, and we naturally think of it as a pulsating object in the sky as it sends it heat waves down to us. Monet's shows this with the sun being a warm luminescent orange, this blends seemlesly with the grey clouds in the background. Also having the clouds behind the sun makes the sun seem as if it is in the foreground.
3.Olafur Eliasson's 'Weather Project'(2006) is a contemporary work that relates to Monet's
famous landscape.
Olafur Eliasson’s work and Manet’s works are very similar in colours both using the illusions of the sun with the viewers eyes. But with Olafurs work 'Weather project' he uses hundreds of monochromatic lamps to recreate the illusion that it is a sun. Both artists create a feeling of warmth and serenity by using orange, yellow and grey and black.

I like the Monet's painting, because it gave us a message that "industrialism destroying the nature" In monets painting, I can see some blur sun and landscapes of covered with factory smokes. it gives the imaginary of industrial revolution.
