Monet Haystacks, Fifth Grade Art Lesson
My fifth grade artists tackled this lesson on Claude Monet. We specifically examined several of his haystack paintings as well as learning factual information about the artist. Did you know that the Monet created 25 paintings of this specific subject matter?
Using a pencil we lightly planned the main objects in the composition and together we used oil pastels to color in the details of the artwork. We discussed parts of a landscape, texture, color blending and complementary color schemes.
This was my first time teaching this lesson to my students. After seeing these GLOWING results I will definitely be putting this on my lesson plan agenda for next year!
