I know that giving kids a lot of opportunities to do art in school is important.  The benefits of art education are pretty amazing.  It opens possibilities for children to express themselves, to persevere, to focus and make decisions, work on fine motor skills, to have fun, be creative, and so on.

This project was inspired by Monet's still life paintings.  It was a balance of following a process, understanding how colors work together, and being open to trying something new.  I think they turned out incredible!
