About Claude Monet (1840-1926)

Claude Monet was a French Impressionist painter. Born in 1840, he is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of the Impressionist movement and one of the greatest landscape painters of all time. Monet's works are characterized by their loose brushwork, bright colors, and emphasis on light and atmosphere. He was known for his innovative techniques, such as capturing the changing effects of light and color in a scene, and his works often capture the beauty of nature in a fresh and spontaneous way.

Monet's series of water lilies, haystacks, and Rouen Cathedral are among his most famous works, and his paintings continue to be celebrated for their incredible beauty and innovative techniques. Today, Monet's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.

I appreciate the program package that you offer. It has been helpful for us in our school to provide such a broad exposure to artists and genres. I’ve experienced many different methods of art instruction in various schools I’ve served. I’ve just completed my first year at my school as principal and this has been very valuable program for us.
