Well I love Van Gogh and on his birthday I decided to take a look at some of my favorite lessons inspried by that love, and that were done very well...
Every spring my 1st and 2nd graders take on Sunflowers.
In 1st they create a paper collage made out of different colors and shapes of paper.
Once in 2nd grade we revisit the Sunflowers, and create a painting more in the style of Van Gogh, I usually send these home for Mother's Day.
Starry Night, which is most dear to my heart, has become what I'm know for as a teacher because I doodle it everywhere.
I have taught it from Kindergartners in the art room,
to adults at a ceramic studio...
Happy Birthday V.V.G! I love thee...
