Hmmm... how many different ways can we create flowers in a vase? Let me count the ways! This project was another study on Vincent Van Gogh. I read the book, "Camille and the Sunflowers" by Laurence Anholt. We discussed the technique of impasto and how to recreate it as an art project. We began on black construction paper. They drew a sketch of flowers in a vase on a table. They added glue to the sketches and let it dry. Then, using the glue marks as barriers, they added color using oil pastels. The results were colorful and creative!
About Me
- Sara
- My name is Sara and I am an art teacher at a small elementary school in the Sunshine State. I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade students. I believe arts education is an integral part of a child's success in school and in life. Students take home more than projects they've completed. They come home with confidence, passion, curiosity, and most importantly, "life".
