2nd grade Monet Water Lilies Chalk Print


Today, 2nd grade will start this new artwork, which is inspired by the artist, Claude Monet, and the art teacher Crystal Dunn! You can check out both artists, by clicking on their names! 
Here's how we created ours!
Materials:
Water
tray

Day 1: Learn about the artist Claude Monet and the art movement, Impressionism. Then, we'll get to work! I'll show them how to draw it out with oil pastels, and show them how to add the chalk to their background. Here's some videos, demonstrating both! 

I used a plastic knife to scrape Crayola sidewalk chalk, into a tray filled with water. 

I put my paper in the water for about 20 seconds. Here's what happened!



Stay tuned for some awesome art!
