Impressionism with Chalk Pastel Art: Monet’s Bridge

Today we are painting with our pastels our version of Monet’s water lilies and the bridge.

So, today we are not only offering this free chalk pastel tutorial but Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett has a fabulous giveaway in store for Hodgepodge readers, below!

Impressionism with Chalk Pastels - Monet's BridgeThe impressionistic technique is surprisingly easy, because you are using the pastels as they should be used…making soft, misty lines of the landscape.

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.

    I love unit studies because it provides the opportunity to learn about something in great detail. I prefer to study things deeply & thoroughly as opposed to just touching on it.

    I just tried to download it from my email feed and it wouldn’t let me. I don’t know whether the problem is on my side or yours, but I thought I would let you know.

    We have really enjoyed our first Amanda Bennett unit study on America’s Heroes. I can’t wait to share my love of all things French with my kiddos!

    I teach our three children at home and I am always looking for more interesting tidbits to make our learning more fun and interesting. Personally, I love chalk pastels and I love these art tutorials. The giveaway is also interesting to me. Perhaps I can brush up on my own rudimentary pastel skills, too!

    When we are doing unit studies, we get to choose the topics that interest us. Besides, the boys don’t consider it “schoolwork”, so they are learning much without even noticing.

      I agree Heidi – all of the unit studies we’ve enjoyed through Amanda Bennett have been just as you described! Learning FUN!

    Your link to download the tutorial doesn’t work. It would go great with the Art Studies we plan on doing during the summer. Can you redo and resend it, please! Thanks!

    Unit studies allow flexibility to change things up, and study and learn about something we are all interested in! They allow to learn deeply about any given subject, and include multiple studies of academics. I call that fun!!!

    What I like best about unit studies is that they give the child the chance to explore a topic throughly, in many facets. These look fantastic and would complement our french foreign language studies and geography!

    We haven’t really tried unit studies though I have heard a lot of good about them. Winning one of Amanda’s studies would be a great introduction to doing them I’m sure. Thank you for a great give away.

    Unit studies are great in that they wrap in everything you need to learn in a day with a central subject.

      Emily! I know you have subscribed. Maybe the email with the links that you received after subscribing landed in your spam folder? I will send you a private message. Also know that you can try out some of Nana’s impressionist paintings with samples at ChalkPastel.com
