Program Learning Objective: I CAN comfortably discuss artwork and elements of art with my peers and with an educator. I CAN connect local and world history with Hill-Stead"s art and architecture. I CAN create an artwork modeled on Monet"s style (en plein air.
Program Description: TOUR: 60 min: Students will participate in discussions with the Museum Educator and their peers about the lifestyle of the Pope family, art standards in the mid-1800s, individual Impressionist artists, their inspirations, and their difficulties. These artworks include works by Monet, Degas, Manet, and Cassatt as well as numerous works by American artist James McNeil Whistler. Tours are discussion-based, inviting students to actively engage in critical discussions centered on the history of the home, art, and family. ACTIVITY: 45 min: Students will learn about the barriers that Impressionist artists faced and how their rebellion against the artistic standards of the time allowed for the development of modern art. Students will then work to create their own piece of art in the style of the Impressionist Monet, learning his artistic techniques and creating their own masterpiece en plein air. After completing their artwork, students will be challenged to write a short, age-appropriate poem (structured or freewritten) to describe their landscape and experience at Hill-Stead.
Parent Engagement Opportunities: We love chaperones! However, too many can lead to over-sized groups. Please keep in mind that one chaperone per 5 students (elementary schoolers) receives complimentary admission. Additional chaperones are welcome, but must be approved prior to your tour and will be responsible for paying their own entrance cost.
