Grade 3 Van Gogh!

We created these wonderful Van Gogh creations the other week and the kids loved them. Very easy to do. I put the link in an earlier post of where I got the idea (off of Pinterest) and wanted to post the final project.

First we had students look at Starry Night by Van Gogh and pick out elements they will have in their picture. We focused around the moon, stars and swirls.

Next we had students draw with white, black, grey and yellow crayons on large pieces of paper to create the night sky.

Finally we used different colours of blue and washed the paper with paint in order to create the darkened sky. Of course the paint does not cover the wax and you can see the crayon through it.

Here's the final products, they turned out GREAT!
