In preparation for this Fine Arts evening the students worked with Mr. Olson during their weekly Music classes as well as extra practice sessions with Division 4.<\/p>\n

In the classroom we spent a few weeks learning about three different famous Impressionists artists – Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, and Vincent Van Gogh. \u00a0We read a few picture books based on the different artists and their lives. \u00a0As well, I read to the students some biographical information on each the artists. \u00a0The grade two students remembered Van Gogh from work that we produced last year (‘A Starry Night’ and ‘Sunflowers’).<\/p>\n

Each of the art pieces began as a ‘directed drawing’ lesson with me modelling on the white board and the students working with pencil and paper. \u00a0We used prints of the artists’ work as reference points. \u00a0Students worked with oil pastels for the bulk of their finished product. \u00a0For the Monet and Cezanne pieces they added a wash of paint on top of the oil pastel. \u00a0The Van Gogh pieces were strictly done with oil pastel.<\/p>\n

Our first art piece was “The Japanese Footbridge”, by Claude Monet. \u00a0Students enjoyed learning about the effect of light on art as we looked at a wide variety of the Monet pieces which only varied by the time of the day when they were painted. \u00a0They also liked the water lilies.<\/p>\n

Our next artist was Paul Cezanne. \u00a0We looked at a variety of his still life pictures. \u00a0Students learned about perspective and shading, as well as the variety of colours in the different pieces of fruit.<\/p>\n

The last artist we looked at was Vincent Van Gogh. \u00a0 For this picture we re-created “Cypresses and Wheat Field”. \u00a0The students worked on doing the horizontal lines of the landscape, the variety of greens and yellows for the vegetation, and the swirls of colours that form the clouds and sky for which Van Gogh is well-known. \u00a0[ Yes, I know that ‘cypresses’ is spelt incorrectly on the title – oops \ud83d\ude42 ]<\/p>\n
