After Abstract Impressionism we moved onto Impressionism and Monet. For this lesson we talked about color mixing. 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. We talked about how our water would reflect the trees above, sky, and flowers in the water. Because of this we included several colors in our water. By the end of the lesson we all knew how mix any color we could think of!
