With so much great artwork right at the end of the school year I almost forgot about our Mini-Monets! The 7th grade Advanced Art students finished out the school year strong with their Mini-Monet canvases. While students worked from photos, these grid paintings are by no means exact duplicates, but rather, in the spirit of Monet. I loved watching them mix their colors, learn more about blending, and really, learning to “let go” of making a precise shape or an exact duplicate. Monet was known for his ability to capture the moment and my students really got into the paintings. Cavnas sizes are 9×12 and we used acrylic paint.
Enjoy!
