Claude Monet
Alex, 9Yrs old.
Claude Monet was born on November 14, 1840, in Paris, France. He was best known as the leader of the Impressionists. Short brush strokes were characteristic of his art work. Monet liked to work outdoors and use bright beautiful colors. Monet sometimes got frustrated with his work and he will burn the unwanted paintings.
In this project we try to follow Monet strokes technics by using short brush strokes, and bright colors to catch light and reflections.
We had the opportunity
this last summer to visit The Legion of Honor Art Museum, in San Francisco and to our surprise
found few of the original art works of Claude Monet. Below is pic of his short
strokes, It was really helpful when explaining the kids the technic we want to
work on for this project.
