Starry Night

We studied Vincent Van Gogh's famous painting, "Starry Night". The students noticed that the stars in the night sky are not actually star shaped. They are various colours of yellow all mixed together. They also noticed that the lines that Van Gogh used makes it look like it is windy in the picture. We painted our own version of "Starry Night" using white and yellow paint on blue paper. We used Q-tips to apply the paint. We used dots and lines just like Van Gogh to create our stars, moon and wind. We added white to the yellow paint to make different tints of yellow. After the paint dried we created our town silhouettes by cutting shapes out of black construction paper.
