2nd grade- Monet’s Gardens

European-Museum-Night-Musee-lOrangerie-Paris

The 2nd grade is learning about impressionist artist, Claude Monet.  We learn about Linnea in Monet’s Garden, which is a book and a short movie, and I have both!  I love Linnea and how we learn about Monet’s gardens, his life, and his family.  It’s a great way to make personal connections with artworks!  The 2nd grade learns about Monet and then creates their own garden landscape based on Monet’s Japanese bridge paintings.
