Landscapes allowed them to look at places.
They looked "west" at Green River Cliffs by Thomas Moran
and found Native Americans traveling home at sunset.
They found Claude Monet's Japanese Bridge!
What lines and shapes did Monet use for his water lilies?
The Impressionists broke the rules!
They painted outdoors, trying to capture the light and colors of nature.
Sketch books helped the Lunchers record what they saw.
Look!
Look closely!
Can you find color, line and shape?
Meet the Washington Family!
What does the artist teach us about George Washington?
Picasso used shades of blue to show feelings in Le Gourmet.
We can sketch vertical lines like van Gogh!
He used thick lines of paint for the background in Lady in White.
Draw a background and foreground in your sketch book!
Then, add the details.
There is so much to see in a painting!
Use your senses like an artist!
Fall in love with art!
Be an artist yourself!
We say, "Love what you do" in Montessori!
"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when you grow up."
--Pablo Picasso
