Claude Monet

About a fortnight ago, our class was learning about the artist Claude Monet in the classroom. We were learning about him as an art lesson. We tried to copy a painting of his called 'The Japanese Bridge'. The painting was painted with painted with water colours. He was an Impressionist artist and was around in the late 1800's. Claude Monet joined the army when he was 21 and he went to Africa with them. His aunt begged him to leave the army and paid for him to go to art college if he gave it up. The Japenese Bridge is a colourful painting, full of flowers. I really enjoyed learning about it.
