15 minutes by Carla Boulton:
Introducing myself, my name and that I live nearby
Ask the question does anyone know what I do?
What I do as an artist, that I paint and draw and make things, how I look at things
That I feel lucky to love my job
Ask about the artist (Claude Monet) that he children have been studying, do they like his work
Talk about Monet's use of three colours plus white - show children four paint tubes
Show children my brushes and sketchbook
Show some of Monet's paintings, look at how amazingit is that he achieved so many different colours
Talk about Monet's work and the sizes
Talk about his garden at Giverny the beauty we see around us
Talk about my work
Show some of my paintings on the Monet theme, show them a painting I have done which is not of a garden which still uses only the three colours. This is the unfinished 2nd portrait of Isabella which has about 2 weeks more work left to do.
Show the children the process of laying on the different colours one at a time and using stage photos of my work.
Talk about collaboration and consideration and that we will all be working to make one piece of work which we will all be proud of
Go through rules:

Work
Children outside in small group.
Put on old shirts and bags on shoes
Spends few minutes looking at the work we are basing out mural on
Look at the colours, where the light and dark parts are in the painting
Look at which colour we think we will put on first and how we will build it up
Show how to carefully dip their brushes into the pain and how to wipe of the excess paint.
Show how to gently use brushstrokes which will still allow the base colour to show through. Explain that we don't want to cover this up completely as it give light to the picture.
Spend ten minutes blocking in the colour where needed.
Ask children to stand back after 5 mins and see what they have done and how it relates to the work we are using as inspiration.
