students learned about Van Gogh by reading informational text and quizzing each other about this famous artist.
To make our sunflower project we used cut paper to create a sunflower in a daytime or nighttime sky. Some students chose to make sunflowers in vases like the poster we have
on our bulletin board of Van Gogh's famous painting
The next step was to use oil pastels over our paper composition to create a painted look because we learned that our artist used lots of thick paint in his works.
Students really enjoyed applying the pastels quickly, letting the "paint marks" show on their project.
Our last activity will be to divide into groups and try to transfer our knowledge by looking at a piece of famous artwork and trying to decide if it was painted by Vincent Van Gogh or a different artist, based on what we have learned and experienced during this project!
