Listen and read along to these sentences.
Renaissance art is beautiful and rich. When you look at a Renaissance painting, you can see all kinds of details that make the subjects in the painting come to life.
Impressionism is all about evoking emotions. When you look at an Impressionist painting, you can almost feel the wind and the grass and hear the sounds of the forest in the painting.
I think Renaissance art is much more important than Impressionist art. Renaissance art is about important people and events. It captures characters and moments that are important to culture.
One of the great things about Impressionism is that it captures little, fleeting moments and gets you to appreciate every moment. Every moment can be special, and every person is important enough to be painted!
