What do you get when Mrs. Jensen is the guest teacher? A beautiful art lesson and a wonderful story about Vincent Van Gogh. Mrs. Jensen shared a great book called Camille's Sunflowers. The book describes Vincent Van Gogh's time in a French village where he becomes friends with a family that lives next door to him. It was during this period of his life that Van Gogh painted his famous sunflowers. We used the text to analyze narratives. After reading, we not only sequenced the plot events, we also sorted the events by important and less important.
Then, the students' favorite part! They drew and painted their own sunflowers. The students used oil pastels and a watercolor wash to create these amazing works of art.
