Famous Artists Unit: Van Gogh

All of the students here at Wilson have begun working on a new unit exploring some art done by famous artists! 

Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders started our unit by looking at Vincent Van Gogh's painting of Sunflowers. 

We talked about how Van Gogh painting his face in order to show that it was round. The older students also explored how to shade the vase to show it's depth. 

Sunflowers By: Van Gogh

The students first sketched their vase and flowers. Then, they colored them in using crayons, oil pastels and colored pencils. Finally, they water color painted the background. 

Each piece of art turned out unique, showing the creativity of each student. What a fun way to brighten and warm up our cold February!
