Vincent Van Gogh was one of the most popular and well-known artists of all time. During class, we got that chance to create our own Van Gogh inspired paintings that resemble his Starry Night. Using tissue paper, we were told make some sort of background, whether it be clouds, water, etc. I chose to make fireworks. From there, we were instructed to choose and create a landscape using black construction paper. For this, I chose to make a hill and a couple of trees. Lastly, we added white lines that look like the brush strokes on Van Gogh's original painting.
For an extension activity, I think that this could be worked in with history. Van Gogh could be talked about in the classroom and the children could learn about the country he came from. Each student could find facts about Van Gogh and his other paintings.
