Water Lilies - 4th Grade

Every spring I do an acrylic painting with my 4th graders on canvas board. It is kind
of a special project to say goodbye! Something that they will remember & keep. I pick
a different theme every year for their paintings, and this year I selected Monet's Water
Lilies. The students enjoyed looking at his work & learning about impressionism. I used
the Getting To Know The World's Greatest Artists video for the lead in to the lesson.
Do you do any special projects for your exiting students(those going on to middle school/jr high)?
If so, I'd like to hear about it!!!
