Week 7- Monet Bridge
The last lesson involved making stand up pumpkin "books." To view it click here.
Artistic Movement: Impressionism
What you'll need:
-tempera/craft/acrylic paint (green/yellow/blue/purple/pink/black)
-paper (I used white construction paper)
-medium brushes
Time: 45 minutes to an hour
This is a more time consuming project. It requires more patience and step by step instruction.
I drew the bridge in pencil on each page before we began painting so that there was a reference point to use.
I started by showing them pictures of weeping willows and lily pads. I also showed them some of Monet's paintings.
I showed them how the weeping willows go "up and down" and the water and the lilly pads go "back and forth."
I started with green, then progressed to yellow with up and down strokes.
The water (blue/purple) goes back and forth. For the lilly pads I had them making little stripes of green. Then on every green little line I had them put a pink dot.
The pencil drawing of the bridge still showed through the paint and so I guided them in tracing them.
Overall: The kids handled this project very well, but it is good to have kids who've had experience in following step by step instructions and have more patience.
(logging 1 1/2 hours for prep and execution)
