Impressions of Monet

I honor of Spring approaching, I introduced the Impressionist Artist Claude Monet. First we watched the movie "Linnea in Monet's Garden". Then students looked at many examples of Monet's work. They learned how the impressionist were some of the first artisits to work outside and how they had to work quickly to get the impressions on what they saw before the scene changed. We then recreated one of Monet't paintings using sponges and tempera paint.
