This lesson starts off with a power point about Vincent Van Gogh. As a class we start to talk about his painting: Starry Night. Everyone in the class gets a black piece of construction paper, tissue paper, crayons, and oil pastels. Each student needs to cut out different colors of tissue paper and glue them onto the black construction paper by using gel medium glaze. Following the tissue paper, each student needs to create a scenery for their tissue paper background to be viewed behind. For example my background is mountains. Once the student has everything on the paper they can use oil pastels and crayons to draw lines around the piece to give it more of a Van Gogh feeling.
I could use this project in the classroom with language arts. I would have the students once they are done with their art work write a paragraph (4-6 paragraphs). They must use references in their story that connect to their drawing. This can be as simple as The sky was a beautiful blue-green when the sun had finally set. The goal of this assignment is for the students to be creative and use good descriptive words (adjectives).
