With this volume, you bring the fascination of color and light conditions into your classroom. The various painting and drawing techniques, along with the direct connection to nature, particularly engage children. With the artworks of Monet, Renoir, or Degas, brief biographical information, and diverse working methods, your students can become creative themselves: they experiment with color combinations, create landscapes, draw movements, and craft colorful harlequins. In doing so, they learn in an experimental way to sketch quickly, draw lines, and train their perception. The clear lesson units and practical tips also make it easy for teachers from other subjects to inspire students with the innovative perspective of the Impressionists.
