Monet's Place

For over a year I have been excited to do this co-op: Monet's Place! There is a beautiful garden that is inspired by Monet's artwork, so for a co-op we met at the garden, learned a little bit about Monet, and then painted/sketched his garden. It turned out great- despite the threat of rain.

Claire's favorite part was catching tad poles after the drawing:

One thing I learned was that Monet was one of the first artists to paint outside instead of in a studio, and he had to deal with the elements. It was a bit windy, so we got to experience some of the trials of painting outside instead of in.
