This is a depiction of Van Gough's Starry Night, meant for upper elementary students. We used cut out tissue paper to depict the sky, to our liking, to show movement and the different ways it can be used in a "sky". Then we used another piece of construction paper to cut out a cityscape. After they were all glued on we used a glossy, glue top coat to get the glossy feature across the whole piece. Once it was all dry, one could use either silver sharpie markers, or oil pastels to show more movement throughout the sky, and the city. An extension to this project could be when we are tlaking about different cities, that would have things like this cityscape and how differently eveyone sees the sky from where they live.
This was a finger painting, using my own rendition of Van Gough's Starry Night. I used finger painting to create the different planes. The dark blue, with some purple, sky and stars are showing the movement through space. Then we have the middle ground/plane that depicts our rolling hills, with a tree that is close to us, so it appears bigger than the rest.
