From the Paper:

"The children will study the artist Claude Monet as a classic example of the use of color, line, and contour. The plan calls for the students to use self portraits as well as printmaking. The use of the Princess and the pea will be for the purpose of teaching lines. Having the students draw the Princess and The Pea forces them to understand the use of lines as they draw the absolute objects that have to appear in the picture. The bed, the princess and the bedroom all work with lines. Cat drawings will allow the students to understand design as they work to master the curves of the cats in their pictures. Their graceful movement can only be defined as design and it helps the third graders understand the fluid movements of design Art."
