In this project, we first learned a little bit about Vincent Van Gough, and his style of painting. Then, we began with a sheet of paper, tempra paint of the primary colors, and black and white. We used only our fingers to paint in the style of Vincent Van Gough, and were making either a replica of Starry Night, or a design of our own. All variations of the colors and shading had to be done by mixing the primary colors. An extension activity that we could do after completing this project is a Language Arts lesson on writing, and come up with a story line of a dream. In the dream we see this image (of their painting) and they have to come up with a creative story on what this dream could be about. Since dreams can be anything, students are encouraged to use fatasy as their type of writing.
