Claude Monet was a famous French artist and the leader of the Impressionist movement. He was born in 1840 and died in 1926. As a young man, he created caricatures and studied art in Paris. He was influenced by the works of artists like Constable and Turner. In 1873, he held the first Impressionist exhibition, where his painting Impression, Sunrise gave the movement its name. Monet is known for his series of paintings like his haystacks and water lilies, which focused on capturing light and atmospheric effects. He helped develop new techniques in art through his exploration of color and brushwork.

9. “For me, a landscape does not exist in its own
right, since its appearance changes at every
moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings
it to life - the light and the air which vary
continually. For me, it is only the surrounding
atmosphere which gives subjects their true
value."

16. How I Can Employ It
Possible tasks:
• To write a cinquain on the basis of one of
Monet’s pictures, using the new vocabulary
• To make a project – comparison of a
Monet’s work and one of some Russian
impressionist
• To create their own impressionist-like
drawing and comment on it
• To reflect on the knowledge acquired
during the lesson in the form of a reflective
table( what I knew/What I’ve learnt)

17. How I Can Employ It
• Teach new vocabulary related to the topic
“Art” and develop speaking and writing
skills (describing students own art works,
impressionist works, writing a cinquain)
• Develop the students in aesthetic way
• Develop critical thinking and project work
skills ( comparison of Monet’s pictures with
some other Russian Impressionist)
• Develop students’ creative skills (writing
cinquains, creating their own impressionist
– like work)

18. • To raise the students’ interest in
learning ( on the basis of personally-
oriented tasks)
• To give the opportunity to express their
own opinion (project-work, writing a
cinquain)
• To teach self-reflection
