Van Gogh Project

 Description: For this project we listened to a PowerPoint introduction about Vincent Van Gogh where it talked about his life, his family and his artwork. The main piece that we discussed was his famous painting, Starry Night and how to analyze the different aspects of his artwork and wrote down 3 different things that we learned about from Van Gogh. When we started the project, I took a black piece of construction paper and different colors of tissue paper and started to glue it down with clear acrylic glue. Once all of the tissue paper had been put into pace I took and cut out a black house and some black tree outlines and glued them down onto my project. Then I took and outlined my house and trees with a white oil pastel and outlined other aspects om my project with other oil pastels. Then to finish off my Van Gogh project I drew swirls, lines, and snowflakes around on the project to give the project the feeling of it being a snowy night. 

Extension Activity: An extension activity that could follow up with this assignment would be to discuss the different biomes that the students created and envisioned with their art project. The students can go into discussing different aspects of each biome and different animals that can be found in those biomes.
