I was looking forward to visiting the Musée d’Orsay, which is housed in an old building. The world famous paintings made the deepest impression on me, I particularly appreciated the masterpieces painted by two of the greatest Impressionist artists, Claud Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Monet was inspired by nature, one of the famous pieces is Blue Water Lilies. I couldn’t believe it when I heard he did around 250 paintings of the same water lily pond. Renoir preferred to paint scenes of everyday life. I was struck by his masterpieces. Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, whose works are also displayed at the Musée d’Orsay. They had a lasting influence on the modern art. It certainly left a lasting impression on me too!
3. T asks Ss to learn some useful expressions.
(1) Get the Ss to find the sentences showing comparison from paragraph 5:
· Although the paintings had very different settings, it was their similarities that stayed with me long after I left the Musée d’Orsay—similarities which can be seen throughout the Impressionists ’ paintings.
· Everyday subject matter was the main focus of their works, as opposed to the history paintings that had traditionally dominated European art.
· They employed free brushwork and used colours to show the effect of light on things, creating paintings that were far less realistic than the works that came before.
Describing similarities: share, be similar to, like, as … as
