We have extended our Art unit! Last month we learned about primary and secondary colors. We mixed colors and did some color experiments. The students were engaged and appeared to enjoy these color experiences. We have added learning about lines, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. We used the primary, secondary and pastel colors to paint these lines. We also made our own artist palettes and we stamped neon circles onto will will become our art portfolios.
This week we learned a lot about the famous French artist Claude Monet and on Friday we tried to emulate his painting style using small strokes (thank goodness our papers were small). Painting like Monet was challenging to try to paint with such small strokes. Monet helped to create the painting form called Impressionism. He enjoyed painting outside and later in his life he painted items in his backyard, lily pads, the Japanese bridge, etc. over and over again during different times of day to see how light effected how things looked. Many of Monet's painting are in art museums all over the world.
