If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I love vintage French decor pieces.<\/p>\n

However, I also love French music and art.<\/strong> \u00a0While I don’t consider myself an expert in art, I have had the privilege of seeing some amazing French art, up close and personal!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

We love to travel and France is definitely my favorite country we’ve visited. \u00a0On one trip to France many years ago, we visited Giverny.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’re familiar with the work of Claude Monet, you would immediately recognize the cute bridge with draping trees and thick lily pads. \u00a0In fact, you can probably picture it right now!<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture we took:<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_4646-scaled.jpg” title_text=”IMG_4646″ admin_label=”IMG of Monet gardens” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”subheader” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The Most Beautiful Day!<\/em><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Seeing his home and the actual gardens that inspired his work was one of the most beautiful days I have ever experienced.<\/p>\n

So, as a music teacher, I decided to incorporate some art into my music unit on music from the Impressionism era.<\/strong> \u00a0As it turns out, it is a lot more enjoyable to listen to Debussy while creating Monet inspired art!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

While on spring break, I decided to use some art materials we had on hand and have my own kids get creative too. \u00a0This Monet inspired art is fail-proof and guaranteed to beautiful.<\/strong> \u00a0It would make a great gift idea too, especially with Mother’s Day<\/strong> coming up soon!<\/p>\n

A small canvas is easy to tuck into decor and the colors of the Monet inspired art is perfect for spring!<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Adults could have a lot of fun with this too and use a lot of painting techniques that I literally know nothing about. \u00a0I know they would turn out amazing!<\/p>\n

It ended up being a lot of fun for the kids, too, and we all enjoyed some quiet, creative moments!<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Kids-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Kids” admin_label=”IMG of kids 1″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”BLOG TITLE” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
