Lower school recently learned about work of Georgia O'Keeffe and Wayne Thiebaud and these artists (among MANY others) represented at de Young museum. 

It's a wonderful opportunity to visit Legion of Honor with your Upper school students to see works of master of Baroque period (we just reviewed Baroque period in art).

"Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640) was celebrated for his skillful handling of oil paint; his sensuous coloring; and his taut, action-packed depictions of dramatic narratives. Early Rubens focuses on what is arguably the artist’s most innovative period of production, from 1608 until about 1620. It was during these years that Rubens rose to the highest ranks of European painting. He did so through a series of social and artistic choices that laid the groundwork for his later international fame and established a visual style that would guide ambitious painters for generations to come."

Claude Monet at de Young museum!
Claude Monet was a famous French painter and one of the founders of the impressionism movement (which we will study later this year).
The exhibition features nearly 50 paintings by Claude Monet dating mainly from 1913 to 1926, the final phase of the artist’s long career. During his late years, the well-traveled Monet stayed close to home, inspired by the variety of elements making up his own garden at Giverny, a village located about forty-five miles from Paris. With its evolving scenery of flower beds, footpaths, willows, wisteria, and nymphaea, the garden became a personal laboratory for the artist’s concentrated study of natural phenomena.
