Water Valley High School art students are learning about Impressionism, an art style dating back to the mid-1800s that aimed to catch fleeting moments and ephemeral images. The selected watercolor paintings are from students' renditions of Claude Monet's Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies. Students' works shown are by Madison Bryant, Baylie Terry, and Jenna Trusty. Well-done, artists!
