This week in art methods we focused on Van Gogh's painting, Starry Night. We did a kindergarten level project using finger paint, either following Van Gogh's Starry Night, or coming up with a similar painting creating movement in the sky, along with a background, middleground, and foreground. We also did a third to fifth grade level project with tissue paper and sharpie marker or oil pastels. It was the same concept to create movement in the background and then have a city scene in the front.
An extension activity off of this could be using an entire different medium to reenact Starry Night. Students could use chalk, pastels, or colored pencils or something as different as magazine clippings.
