Turner and Romanticism

5th grade art project

Joseph Mallord William Turner (23 April 1775 – 19 December 1851) was an English Romantic landscape painter, watercolourist and printmaker, whose style can be said to have laid the foundation for Impressionism. Although Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, he is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting.



This is a artist who is known for his beautiful Romanticism paintings,  the kids do a great watercolor and learn about the artist and Romanticism.



Ideas for this project came from Usborne Art Treasury!
