Claude Monet

Claude Monet

I saw this youtube. The video shows us a young girl. Her name is Emma. She is interested in Claude Monet's life and his paintings. Now, I will tell you some information about Claude Monet from the video. He was born in Paris in 1840. His father worked in a grocery store, and his mother a singer. When he was 5 years old, his family moved to Le Havre. Boudin taught Monet how he could use oil painting. When he was 16, his mother died. Then, he came back to Paris and lived with his aunt. He went to The Louvre in 1900. He copied a famous painting; it was painted by The Old Master. After that, he looked out the window and drew what he saw, because he didn't want to copy all paintings. He had a special way to see light and color. He drew many beautiful paintings, such as Women in Garden, The Thames at Westminster, The Stroll and more. After his wife died, he felt depressed. He never painted a person again. He died in 1926. In conclusion, Claude Monet is one of the greatest artists. Really, I am interested in his paintings, and the way he used to paint.
