Year 5 has painted a Monet painting. First we used a white oil pastel and drew a bridge. Next we used green and blue watercolours for the background. Then the next week we added water lilies.  We drew the water lilies with oil pastels.  We made the water lilies in the front big and the ones at the back smaller. Next we got white oil pastels and put a bit of white on the water lilies then we smudged it with our finger because Monet didn’t care if it wasn’t neat. Then we drew flowers on the water lilies. After that we coloured the water lilies with red and pink oil pastels then smudged the water lilies with our fingers. Finally we hung them up in the classroom.  They look so good- we have some great artist in this class!
