Second Grade Monet Water Gardens

We are continuing to read stories about Monet in second Grade. Today we used Q Tips to mimic Monet's short brush strokes while painting our ponds. The effect is lovely. We will paint lilies, and trees next. The final step will be to paint a Japanese style  arched bridge over the pond, with a surprise on the bridge. Keep checking back!




Today we added trees, bushes and lily pads, still using Q tips.
