Vincent Van Gogh      
 Starry Night Collage

With this lesson we looked at Vincent Van Gogh and his Starry Night painting. We recreated our own version of this project with tissue paper and oil pastels. From this class this is probably one of my favorite pieces that we did. Like the Dot Day project it seemed like we were all able to create fun pieces of art that would look good displayed on any wall at school or at home. This collage created movement in the sky similar to Van Gogh's Starry Night. The first extension activity that I can think of is having students create their "Starry Night" collage and then have them write about the scene they created. Telling a story about their collage. Science could also be brought into the mix with talk about the Northern Lights and how, why, where and when they can be seen.
