For the Teacher-

This WebQuest was designed for a sixth grade art class. Upon completion of the WebQuest, my students will create a painting in the style of Monet. Students will identify their favorite work. Then they will create their own painting, based on their preference. The lesson was designed to enrich the artistic process. It is a great way to add Discipline Based Art Education to your classroom.
