2nd and 3rd grade Van Gogh Flowers

This lesson was lead by our wonderful student teacher, Ms. Casiano! 2nd and 3rd graders learned about the artist, Vincent Van Gogh. 

That's him! Some of his more famous artwork include, Stary Night

We chose to focus on paintings from Van Gogh's Sunflower series. 

Students took some inspiration from Van Gogh and modern day florists and created their own flower arrangement paintings. 

Students became experts at mixing new colors. They know about tints, shades, and how complementary colors make brown when mixed together. 

Take a look at a few of our finished paintings! 

As you can see we had some wonderful results!
