1st and 2nd Grade Impressionism- Water Lilies

After Abstract Impressionism we moved onto Impressionism and Monet. For this lesson we talked about the primary and secondary colors. Students learned that Monet could have made each painting using only red, blue, and yellow. So we decided to take the challenge with our own paintings and mix each color ourselves. For our backgrounds we used tissue paper to create our water. Our lilies were made using blue and yellow chalk pastels blended to make green. The lilies were mini coffee filters with which we colored with markers. By the end of the lesson we all knew how to mix secondary colors!
