For this lesson, we learned about Claude Monet and his painting "Bridge over a Pond of Water Lillies." We then had to create our own version of this painting. We started off by using bright colored crayons to create the bridge, the clouds, and the lily pads and flowers in the water. Then we took our watercolors and painted over the whole paper using either purple or blue. The watercolors didn't color over the crayons, so our drawings still showed up.
An extension activity that could be done with this is with science where students are learning about some of the most famous bridges and shown those bridge designs. You could teach them and show them about the bridges before this and have them try to re-create a famous bridge with this painting or the students could create their own famous bridge and name it.
