This mixed-media project was a fun layering process for first grade students. We watched a video about Claude Monet and looked at his style of painting and subject matter. Then students created their own "pond" on a paper plate. They colored their plate blue or green with crayons, then we sponge painted some texture with silver paint to create the look of light reflecting in the water. The next class, students were given brushes to create small marks around their pond with blue and green paint which blended in nicely. Lastly, students created the water lilies with dark green paint, and glued on a small tissue paper square to create a 3D bloom.
