Fine Art Friends for Early Elementary: Claude Monet

In this single meeting class for early elementary students, we will meet the world-famous artist Claude Monet and learn about his life.  Students will examine his art, and practice visual intake and verbal expression through describing the art and their thoughts about it.  Students will create a group oral narration to describe what is happening in the featured works of art.  We will complete this lesson by beginning our own works of art in similar styles.  The project will be begun in class and finished after class if students would like additional time to complete it. Learners are invited to post their finished work in the classroom to share with one another. 

This course is geared to help students learn about art styles, art techniques, and art history while simultaneously increasing their language competency to support oral narration, pre-writing, and writing skills.
