Brushstroke is a very basic aspect of art and refers to the trace left by a painting tool such as a brush on a surface. Each brushstroke is distinct, embodying the artist’s characteristics, methods, and objectives. During the history of art, a great deal was written about how emotions, movements, and textures were transferred to paintings by means of brushstrokes. Powerful examples of the use of brushstrokes in art works were given by Vincent Van Gogh famous for vigorous and emotional brushwork in “Starry Night” and Claude Monet who employed broken color and gentle strokes as brushworks in the Impressionist movement. The peak of Impressionism in the late 19th century was marked by paintings where the single brushstroke was made more evident as a means of capturing subjective impressions of light and color. This was a more loose approach compared to the detailed brushwork of previous academic traditions. Paul Cézanne, known as one of the Post-Impressionists, built on this idea, sculpting form and volume in his compositions with bold, powerful strokes. Modern day artists are known to experiment with the use of brushstrokes more than ever, using heavy impasto strokes to suggest physicality and delicateness to suggest atmosphere and movement. Learners submitted work on how understanding the role of brush strokes broadens ones appreciation of the mark making, process, intention and the multitude of expressive possibilities the artist intends into each stroke.
