This week we did an art lesson that coupled with a wonderful story about Vincent Van Gogh. The book is 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. We also read a book in RAZ kids about the famous artist's time in France. We learned so much!
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. They are so proud of their creations.
