Monet Art Lesson Results - Pics!

For this lesson, I looked up information on Claude Monet and tabbed everything in my browser. I mainly tabbed a pic of Monet and three of his famous paintings (including Waterlilies). We had a "meeting" (thats what the kids called it) in the computer room for the first part of the art lesson. We talked about his life, impressionism and what it meant, and then used Google Earth to zoom in on France. After seeing France, we zoomed in on his hometown of Giverny. The children really enjoyed this lesson!

The first day, we used our watercolors in blues, purples & greens to make our pond background. The second day we tore bits of colored construction paper and glued it to the background for the lilies.

This idea was found on this page:

My display name is "Katatonic". Why? Because my first name begins with "K", I like cats and the definition seems to fit me while preparing for a homeschool year. It will also most likely sum up this blog quite nicely. "cat·a·to·ni·a –noun A syndrome seen most frequently in schizophrenia, characterized by muscular rigidity and mental stupor, sometimes alternating with great excitement and confusion." Ah, yes. A perfect fit.
