This art project just makes your teacher tingle! When Mrs. B. was a little girl, she saw an advertisement for a poster of this painting at the back of a comic book!  Mrs. B. couldn’t afford to buy it, but when she was all grown-up, she saw a print of this very same painting and decided to buy it and have it framed.  It still is one of her favourite pieces of art.

We used our Grade 2 & 5 “Buddies Time” for this art project.  We had a Scholastic poster of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and we also looked at the painting on our SmartBoard.   We studied “How To” directions on a website that showed us to divide our page into sections first.  http://www.instructables.com/id/My-starry-night/ Then we used Pastels as our medium.  The resulting artwork was WONDERFUL! Mrs. Boekhout added the song “Vincent” by Don McLean. He was inspired to write this song about Van Gogh’s life and paintings.  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD1ih3Q9otE is a nice combination of music and art)
