Claude Monet Lapbook

The cover. Including a photo of Ruth and I with the Monet painting we bought. It's one of only 4 prints.

Inside with all the mini books closed.

Some of the flaps open.

And the others open.

Guess: Farmers & Land

He painted them through the year. So he even had some covered in snow.

They wanted to cut the poplars down for timber. So he bought the land, finished painting, and then sold it back to them.

Guess: Stand Back

Your first clue. But more for interest sake, I don't think you would guess it on this alone.
Second clue.
He rented a very small room opposite the Cathedral. He could not see the top of the Cathedral from his window and he could also not stand back to look at his canvas because the room was so small.

Impressionism

I love pop-up mini books. They are so much fun.

This one has all the information about Impressionism and what made Monet's art different.

Guess: Steam & Garden

With these minibooks there is a clue on the front and you need to try and guess which of his famous paintings it is.

There were even times when they started up the trains just so that Monet could pain the steam.

He not only built the bridge but the pond too. He loved his garden and did many paintings of the flowers, waterlilies and this bridge.

France

Manet

Yes, Manet and not Monet.
Manet painted these pictures of Monet.
Monet loved his "floating studio" and spending time gardening.
