Famous Artists Week 2


My happy little students are learning so much! Yesterday we painted Monet Impressionist paintings. Most children have not worked on a very large piece of paper and dabbing the paint all over was a great experience. We also made lily pads out of colored clay to go on our smaller Monet water paintings. Today we had so much fun studying Andy Warhol, dressing up as hippies, creating our own printing plates and making prints. The children came up with so many ways to layer their prints and create prints with a variety of colors. That's creative thinking in action - give people the knowledge, skills, materials and guidance and then let them fly!
