Starry Night

 

This lesson was created by Cassie. First we learned about Vincent Van Gogh and that he created the painting Starry Night. Then each of us had to choose a piece of Starry Night to draw. After we drew the picture, we compared it next to everyone in class to see if we needed to make any changes. I had to change mine a little bit, but I needed to change it a little more. Then we started to paint our piece of Starry Night. I had to come in a couple times outside of class to finish it. I have to say it was really hard to draw and paint the sky. But I really enjoyed mixing the colors and painting. For an extension activity, I would have my students would draw another one of Vincent Van Gogh's painting. Then they would paint it. I would have my students write about how they think Vincent Van Gogh came up with this idea.
