Millet
-Why do we have Art Materpiece? (to learn about artists and famous artwork...you will see them in museums, restaurants, hotels, magazine ads, even to decorate our home, you will be able to recognize and know something about this famous art)
- Show "The Gleaners" this peice is often in restaurants because of the grain.
-Millet was an everyday person. Grew up among people who worked hard for a living. He loved the land. (show works where people are working: Millet book)
-Jean-Francis Millet: pronounced zhahn frahn SWAH mee LEH. by the sound of his name can you guess where he was from?
- Have children take turns pulling fun facts of a basket.(simplified facts on 3X5 cards)
See Below
On fact #10 show "The Angelus." Helpful to research current market value of The Angelus.
On fact #11 show picture of "Ruth and Naomi" famous story from Bible.
-Divide into groups of 5 or 6. Group Puzzle.
Briefly ask questions about the completed puzzle: What is unique? What do you notice? Notice Little streaks of light color make wheat stalks. (Use questions from Art Masterpiece Suggestions in own folder)
- Spread some wheat kernels on the ground have children try picking them up. How hard is it? Do the gleaners have to work hard??
-TREAT: Homemade bread with butter. (or can buy fresh from Val Vista Bread/Alpine Bread Co.)
-While eating do pictionary: the everyday work that your mom or dad does. 1st person to guess it right gets to go next. (P.S. The kids LOVED this! But sometimes requires some assistance with an idea how to draw the occupation or help prompting guesses from the class)
-compare the final pictionary picture with "The Gleaners"....this takes time and work!
