The hallways at Cross Creek Elementary have been transformed into a garden art gallery for all to enjoy!  Art students have just completed an in-depth study of the life and paintings of Claude Monet (1840-1926).  He is considered the “father of Impressionism” and is remembered by his beautiful water lily paintings.

  Cross Creek students experienced a virtual tour of Monet’s actual garden near Paris, France and even learned a little French.  They painted in the style of Monet to reproduce his beautiful Japanese bridge over the lily pond.
