Monet, Impressionism, and Memory Landscapes

Students in grades 1- 5 studied the art of Claude Monet. They imagined a beautiful place in their mind they remembered seeing in the past. They recreated that place in a memory landscape. Students made their Impressionist Landscapes using pastels. The Fifth Grade Art Club will be going to the Museum of Fine Arts in May to see the Impressionist Exhibit from the National Gallery in Washington, D. C.

Rodeo Ideas

Students in Grades 1-5 studied the New Mexico Landscapes of Georgia O'Keeffe to create interesting backgrounds for their cowboys and cowgirls. Students used oil pastels and images from photographs Mrs. Stewart took on a recent trip to Ghost Ranch in New Mexico to create their artworks. Emphasis on horizon line, foreground, middle ground and background were accented in each original work. The students will continue to study landscape painting in different mediums throughout the school year.
