The Study of Art I lead my students in a classroom discussion of the Impressionist and Realist Art period of history in Central Europe. Students are then given a list of artists to choose from and do extensive research on their artist. Students are allowed to choose their medium, for example, chalk, water color, etc. These reproductions are hung in the halls for others to enjoy and ask questions. The entire learning process culminates with a trip to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh where works by Monet and other European artists are on display.
Students often create their own Impressionist artwork when they return from the museum.
Your paper should be now folded in eighths. Open and fold hot dog style again. Push together the edges and a booklet will form. Use the booklet to compile basic information on countries students are studying. Create a mini-book report.
