Monet Weeping Willow Art Projects | Veterans Day Art Projects
This set of mixed media weeping willow art projects contains 5 projects based on the artwork of Claude Monet. These projects use a variety of materials, truly inspire students’ creativity & are a student favorite. These projects were designed to be used for Veterans Day and Memorial Day because Monet created this series of paintings to show his grief. They can be used with an artist study, a unit on plants or trees, Impressionism, or any time of year and are a great way to bring social-emotional learning (SEL) into your classroom.
This lesson is highly engaging, multi-disciplinary, and contains 5 different projects. It is designed for 2nd-5th grade students but can be used with middle school students too. The variety of projects is such that centers may be set up to create the backgrounds in one class and the tree and/or leaves during another class.
This resource is in 2 PDF files and contains 22 pages. It includes:
- Cross-curricular lesson with detailed instructions and photos for 5 projects
