Van Gogh Art-This week's projects were inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and his style of art.
Project 1:
- This project was to recreate movement that you would see in Van Gogh's paintings.
- I demonstrated this type of movement by cutting tissue paper and gluing them down to the paper.
- I also used oi pastels and metallic Sharpies and created more movement by drawing curvy and wispy lines on the paper.
- After that, I made a landscape of mountains to create more of a "picture" look.
- I then framed the picture in blue to represent the "sky" a little better.
Extension Activity:
- Students need to create their own self-portrait by using tissue paper. Students will just be able to use their hands to rip the tissue paper, and then glue it onto the paper. This would be a great introduction activity for a classroom.
Project #2
- This project was also based on Van Gogh as well.
- Just like the first project, we were to create movement in our painting.
- Finger painting allowed more movement and individual lines that showed off this type of movement.
- We were also told to create a foreground, middle ground, and background to show depth in the picture.
- This painting represents a view of a person laying in the grass. They are looking through the uneven grass to view the mountain and the sky in the background.
*Extension Activity:
- A great activity would be having students be paired up and work on a painting together. They would collaborate with each other to make a painting about their classroom. They would have to include the same foreground, middle ground, and background as we did in the other activity. However, everyone needs to do a different picture about their classroom.
