Monet's Reflections
Petrovich-Cheney, Laura
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v106 n7 p40 Mar 2007
From 1899 until his death in 1926, Claude Monet painted a series of watercolor landscapes of his water lily garden and Japanese bridge in Giverny, France. Monet eventually abandoned the banks entirely as subject matter and concentrated solely on the water. These paintings, particularly "The Water Lilies," show a surface in which the shimmering reflections of sky and trees blend into the floating water lilies. The author wanted to share with her kindergarten students the joy of Monet's gardens while also teaching them about reflection and symmetry. In this article, she describes a lesson wherein her students created a watercolor marker drawing on one half of a paper, then printed its mirror image onto the other half using liquid starch.
