Our school is so blessed to have its own outdoor space for learning and creating. In 5th grade, each student picked a subject in the outdoor classroom that they painted in their own unique "style" for a still life. During this lesson we looked at the artwork of famous artists like Paul Cezanne, Georgia O'Keeffe, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet - each with their own unique style. We also talked about concepts like color, shape, form, light & shadow. The students worked for several art times on their paintings and I was very proud of their ability to analyze their subject and paint their own perception of it!
