Summary
Deep-thinking
What do you think of the title of this travel journal Why
The title of the travel journal is First impressions. I think it is a good title. It is a good summary of the artistic features of the Impressionists. The Impressionist artists did not try to paint every detail in a scene. Instead, they tried to paint a brief “impression” of the feeling they had, burning with vivid colours and light, before it disappeared. What was painted on a canvas was exactly the impression in their mind at that very moment. In addition, the title also indicates that this was the first time the writer had laid eyes on real Impressionist works in a museum, since she had previously only admired them on her computer screen.
