Division 5 has been learning about Vincent Van Gogh. Earlier the students re-created art pieces inspired by Van Gogh’s “A Starry Night” which are on display outside of the classroom. We next made our versions of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”.
These art pieces (Sunflowers) were created using the same technique as “A Starry Night”. After a directed drawing lesson, students used oil pastels to make the table top, vase, and sunflowers. They then used tempera paint discs – in the complementary colours of blue (turquoise) and orange – to complete the background.
These lovely Sunflowers will be put on display at McGill Library for the month of May!!
Division 6 (Kindergarten) will also have some of their art on display at the library. They have created Rainbow Fish – inspired by Marcus Pfister’s storybook – using CD’s and other art materials.
I hope you get a chance to get by McGill Library during May to see the students wonderful works of art!!
