Second
grade students studied Claude Monet, a French Impressionist who lived 100 years
ago. He was one of the first artists to think of painting outside. He loved to
paint nature so much that he moved to the country to paint. He is famous for
painting the water lilies that grew in the pond behind his house. Students
discussed his water lily paintings and used tempera paints to paint their own
pond, with painterly brushstrokes, just like Monet. They used tissue papers and
green painted paper to create lily pads and water lilies.
