Claude Monet and the Impressionists: Painting Light

Wishlist Share

About Course

Discover how Claude Monet and his friends changed painting by working outdoors and capturing light and weather with quick, broken brushstrokes. Children explore Monet’s water-lily pond at Giverny and then paint the same view at different times of day, just like an Impressionist.
