This week, Ms. Staines’s class had a special art session using a unique material — canvas.
The students experienced what it feels like to paint on the same type of surface used by many professional artists, and they truly enjoyed working like real painters.
The class also spent time observing a variety of Claude Monet’s artworks, paying attention to his colors and brushstrokes. Each student chose from different sizes and shapes of canvas prepared by the teacher, selected a Monet painting they liked, sketched it, and then painted it using acrylics. The students were very enthusiastic, and it was wonderful to see how proud they were of their own work.
Next lesson, the class will continue by adding more details and completing their canvas paintings.
