When we discovered Monet's early years was going to be on exhibit at the Legion of honor, we decided to take full advantage of the learning experience. We discovered, discussed, and expressed our understanding of Impressionism and Claude Monet. Below I listed a couple of the books that helped us through this process.
After reading our books and discussing we began exploring the technique of impressionism. Jaxon and his good friend Roro (AKA Rose) my fellow helper in educational fun and all things artsy, sat down and painted their own individual representations of a impressionist style paintings.
We arrived at the Legion of Honor with excitement, this would be Jaxon's first audio tour of any type.
After we finished Monet the early years we set out to find Monet's water lilies located in the main exhibit hall.
The next day we headed to Young Art Lessons at our local mall. Young Art offers drop off lessons for children on any subject or just art in general. They were able to teach him how to paint with the techniques of Claude Monet's Impressionism.
Jax's enjoyed the entire lesson and I was quite impressed with the painting that he created during his one hour lesson.
