I did this project last year and decided to do it again. I just love this one and love all the results! The project is based off of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night.
We started off by talking about the painting - what objects do we see, what colors did he use, etc. Then we outlined the main objects - the stars, moon and swirls. We used oil pastels to fill in the sky, making short strokes that move with the swirls. Then we painted the sky with watercolor to fill in all the extra white spaces. Finally, we cut a little town out of black paper and glued it to the bottom. Tada! Beautiful Starry Nights, done by Grade 3. I love how all of them are so unique :)
