This month we’ve been learning about the Impressionist painters that lived in France at the beginning of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century.

Their paintings tried to capture a precise moment in time (like a photograph) by recording an instant ‘impression ‘.

We all really liked Claude Monet’s The Field With Poppies.  We tried to create our own version of this beautiful painting by using blobs of paint just like Monet had done.

We also really liked Monet’s The Water Lily Pond. We used crayons and then paint washed over the crayon to create our very own lily ponds.
