Description: For this lesson, we learned about a wonderful artist named Vincent Van Gogh. We learned about his life, early work, art styles, development, self-portraits, his final time, and more. We looked more in-depth at one of his most famous paintings known as "Starry Night."As we listened to information about Van Gogh, we had to write down three facts that we learned. Then, it was our turn.
We had to create our own version of the "Starry Night." We began with a piece of construction paper. With that black paper, we had to take ripped tissue paper (the colors were our choice) and use acrylic type glue to make the tissue paper stay on the construction paper. After that, we took oil pastels and drew any pattern over the top of the tissue paper pieces. Once we had all of that done, then it was the final step; we took a piece of black construction paper and created a landscape of our choosing. I chose to do a city with layered buildings because I thought it was neat.
Extension Activity: An extension activity that I would have the students do is a reflection piece. The reflection would include them explaining what inspired their choices of color. I would also have them reflect on their landscape and why they chose their design. The reflection could also include if the art piece relates to their personality, or if it makes the students feel any emotions.
