For this lesson, we learned about Claude Monet and one of his paintings. We created a painting that resembled his "Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies". First we started off with a white piece of paper and taped it to the table. We then drew a bridge which had to be a bright color. Next we drew vines and clouds above the bridge. We used white for the cloud and then added water under the bridge. We added flowers and lily pads in the water. After the drawing was all finished, we took blue and purple paint and painted over the top of the whole picture. We had to make sure to use more water than paint to give it a nice and smooth look. Children would like this activity because it involves coloring and painting which gives them room for their imagination.
An extension activity for this could be having the students Google or look up different famous bridges and then have them recreate them. They could use Play-Doh or other materials to make their bridges. They would print out a picture of the bridge they recreated and then let the rest of the class see their final product.
