One of the founders of the French Impressionist group of artists, Claude Monet is still considered one of the most important painters in modern art history, and his methods have much to teach the budding artist. Readers 6 to 9 can follow along with Monet through twelve exercises here, which look to his finished works for lessons in seeing light, depicting movement, and using dabs of color, then prompt young artists to try out some of those same techniques. At the back of the book is a sheet of stickers with elements from Monet's paintings, as well as a big 16 x 24 inch pullout poster, with Monet's art on one side and space on the reverse for your own masterpiece.
