Your Art Folders: Claude Monet

Four prints to download

To share art with children, we rotate prints on the walls, keep prints in art folders, and bind prints with attractive ribbon.

Children love to draw in the style of their favorite painters, too! A winter scene by a lake in the style of Monet can be the perfect holiday activity.

Remember to avoid art projects that involve laminated or plastic material, simplistic matching work, and simplistic cutting along patterned lines. Young children need deep, satisfying projects to hone their natural desire to concentrate on work, not lots of short-term busywork.

Oh, speaking of cutting and scissors work, I have a little surprise book coming out later…

For those of you putting together groups of children for a classroom, this is especially important because each piece of work you select is an integral part of the way your class will work. Each little project that is not quite right will play its part in disrupting the flow and development of your classroom.

If you are very careful from the beginning, setting up a Montessori environment is easy.

Thick cardstock or linen paper make lovely prints with this sort of art!
