Water Lilies by Monet
Water Lilies
Monet is most famous for his water lilies paintings, and today's video gives us an incredible view of the HUGE size of one of these works. It's amazing!
I have really enjoyed getting insight into Monet's technique (and it gave me, a non-painter) ideas about how I might create with paint as well. I hope you and your children are similarly enriched and inspired.
Our second video gives us a wonderful art lesson that helps us understand more about Monet's technique, right at the side of his water lily ponds! We get to learn so much information about colors, brush strokes, perspective, goals of Impressionism as compared to previous painting styles, asymmetry, and more. While probably not a video for your littles, it has much to offer for older children and anyone who wants to understand more about art and how it is made.
"He painted sensations that were visible." Wow!
