The 5th grade has been learning about the Surrealist artist Magritte. Magritte painted really unique 'dreamlike' paintings by combining two objects to make a new third object or placing objects in unusual environments. Look at the two paintings above by this artist and post whether you like or dislike his artwork and why.
We have been talking about the artist Claude Monet in class for the last few weeks. Monet was an Impressionist artist that painted outdoor scenes. He uses quick, exciting brush strokes to capture light and shadow at different times of the day and during different seasons. Look at the paintings above and post how Monet showed light and shadow in each artwork.
