First grade water lilies


Students learned about Claude Monet and his famous water lilly series. We did a wash of colorful watercolor in the background and then cut out lily pads. Students drew some cool stuff on their lily pads, frogs, flies, flowers, etc. Someone drew some ghosts because the lily pads looked like Pac Man! The following week we double dipped brushes in white and red tempera paint to create the lilies, and blue and white to create waves in the water!

(I was informed that these smushed up papers are frogs. So cute!)
