We looked at a variety of prints of famous painters’ works.
Camille Pissarro
August Renoir
Paul Cezanne
Claude Monet
Vincent Van Gogh
Henri Matisse
Pablo Picasso
We discussed how the paintings are different and how they are the same. It was noticed, by the children, that while they all have at least one tree in their painting, they are all different versions, techniques, and styles of trees. Students then used waxed and pencil crayons to create their own ‘unique’ pictures. They all needed to include at least one tree … everything else was up to them. Here are the marvellous results:
Wow, great job by all the kids!
