U may wanna touch on symbolism also if yr doing impressionism. Remember.... Debussy doesn`t consider himself as an impressionist(he finds the term rather degrading), but rather as a symbolist. It`s a very interesting fact, so u may wanna mention that on yr paper.
And remember to trace the development of impressionism related to its relative art form,
and do talk about the French Six...which is an interesting contrast against the Russian Five.
Feel free to ask any questions if in doubt. Or u may like to check out this site:
