The
5th grade students learned about the life and artwork of Claude
Monet through a power point. Students
learned that Impressionist painters were more focused on how the light affected
their piece of art. Monet would paint
the same subject matter over and over but at different times during the day and
different times of the year. Students
were able to view Monet’s Haystack series and discuss what season or time of
day they thought the painting was done.
Students were able to create lays of paint using different techniques
and Analogous colors to create an Impressionist piece of art like Claude Monet.

This was a great 2 day lesson!
ReplyDeleteDAY 1: Learned about Monet and then Watercolor wash with tempera cakes using blue and green. Then used brown tempera paint for bridge somewhere in middle of art. Used White/Black for shadows and highlights. Used blues greens to paint lily pads
DAY 2: I demonstrated how to add natural bushes/shrubbes using paint brushes and sponges. Students did a lot of overlapping and color mixing using analogous colors, blue, green, yellow and white. A little pink was used for flowers on lily pads.
