Spring has sprung in the Northwest, and we were excited to bring the SHA Art Gallery to life with color to celebrate. After reading, Linnea's Garden, our 2nd Grade artists had a blast recreating Monet's famous garden at Giverny. We had a great discussion about impressionism, and picked out our best round brushes for this painting. The class worked with analogous colors to create the background, and posed for photos pretending to be seeing the garden for the first time from the Japanese bridge. Artists finished their masterpieces by adding some colorful flowers to their backgrounds, and by designing a bridge out of paper to collage on to the scene. Photos were added, and our gallery looks amazing! Monet would be proud!!
