Artist Study: Claude Monet

We started this lesson by reading the book The Magical Garden of Claude Monet. Another good one is Linnea in Monet's Garden.


In the story a young girl visits Monet's famous gardens in Giverny. We looked at pictures of the garden and also examples of Monet's art. We talked about what makes his art unique and the stylistic elements of the Impressionists. I then handed out cardstock with pre-made bridges made of tape on them. The learners then painted on top, making sure to use the Impressionistic style. Once they were dry, we peeled off the tape, and voila, Impressionist masterpieces!
