Monet paintings

Over the last few weeks we have been busy painting in the style of Claude Monet. We looked at lots of different pictures he painted and found out that he used a wide range of vibrant colours and painted using short brushstrokes.   We learnt he was the founder of the impressionist movement. He was interested in light and colour.  He wanted to paint how we look upon a scene, rather than what is actually there.
We painted the Japanese Bridge over the water lily pond. 
Come into Room 6 to see our amazing art work.

Short brushstrokes

Small dabs of colour

Careful colour mixing

We used primary colours to make greens and blues.

Then we added detail with reds, yellows and pinks.

Great work Room 6
