What we did in LIFT

My camera is still broken =( and we haven't gotten the new one yet- so no pictures today=(

This week we studied the famous impressionist artist 'Monet'

After learning about his life, we all looked at some of his famous art pieces and discussed them.

Also everyone learned how to find Monet's birthplace- France on the globe

The kids were even able to point out which paintings were by Monet and which weren't.
I was really impressed when they would say 'thats not impressionism' or 'that's not a Monet painting'
wow. I wonder how many adults can do that!

Then we all became impressionist and created our own works of art a la Monet!!!

Things to do:
Take your kids to the Oklahoma Art Museum!
Take the time to look at art work (even just out of a book) and let them discuss it!


We are trying to nurture love and appreciation for art!
