2nd Grade Monet watercolor lilies with bridge
I showed the video about the life of Claude Monet on YouTube. The one I used was "Claude Monet for Kids, Art History for Kids". We discussed his life and I shared with the students various photos of his Japanese bridge with waterlily paintings.
Students drew a bridge in the middle of their 9" x 12" multi media paper and lily pads with various shades of green pastels. Quickly they covered their paper with water and brushed blue and purple liquid watercolors all over it. My 2nd graders then sprinkled salt all over their painting before it dried. The salt will soak up some of the paint and leave flakes of water glistening through the water like light.
The last step was to glue squares of tissue paper on the lily pads.
