Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the impressionism art movement of the 19th century.  We investigated the art work of Claude Monet,  one of the first artists to develop the idea of capturing the fleeting moments of ordinary life.  We enjoyed looking at Monet’s many paintings of lily ponds and shimmering water.

Later we discovered the art of Vincent Van  Gogh and  found out he was Dutch.  We studied his painting ‘The Starry Night’  1889 and tried to copy his painting style to create the painting.
