Year 4 Homework Monet Hello year 4, I hope you are all keeping well and being creative. In this session, I want you to look in more detail at one particular painting by Claude Monet – Japanese Footbridge and the Water Lily Pool. Japanese Footbridge is an oil painting by Claude Monet painted in 1899. It is one of many similar paintings that Monet painted in his garden. It hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 1893 and the years following, he turned a swampy area at Giverny into a water lily pool. It became a source of artistic inspiration. Look carefully at the bridge. Can you see the darker shading underneath the bottom of the bridge? Task Recreate this picture using any media you have. (Pencil, crayons, paints or felt-tips)
