Van Gogh unit part 2: Starry Night landscapes

The first lesson in our Van Gogh unit is just a few posts back - Sunflower still life collages. With part two of our lesson, we studied the parts of a landscape using Van Gogh's Starry Night. Some students used a watercolor and pastel resist and others used a marker and crayon combo. Always an engaging and successful lesson, accompanied by songs inspired by moonlight. We also watched the video about Van Gogh by "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists.”
