Description:
For this project, we listened to a PowerPoint presentation about Vincent Van Gogh. The PowerPoint covered his life, how he became an artist, and the different kinds of art he worked with. The main piece that we discussed was his famous painting "Starry Night." We learned about different ways the aspects of his work and wrote down three things that we learned about him. When we started the project, I took a piece of black construction paper and different colors of tissue paper, mostly black, blue, and some white, and began gluing it down with clear acrylic glue. Once all of the tissue paper had been glued to the background and it had dried, I took some more black construction paper and cut out some skyscrapers in different heights. I glued these skyscrapers to the background and used a white crayon to make the outline of some windows on the skyscraper. I also used a white oil pastel to make some stars in the background of my project.
Extension Activity:
Because we were each allowed to make different projects with different backgrounds and other things added to it, I could have students do a science project discussing the different ecosystems that they created in their projects and the plants and animals that could be found in that ecosystem.
