National Trust Outdoor Learning - Impressionist Painting

Lesson: Learning Outside the Classroom

Class: Year 1/2 Year: 2022 - 2023

The National Trust took the Year 1/2 class into the environmental area for an art lesson on the French Impressionist artist Claude Monet. Children looked at one of Monet's paintings 'Water Lillies'. They then explored the environmental area pond and looked at similarities. Children used Monet's painting for inspiration and used pigments from leaves and flowers to create their own art using nature.
