Van Gogh sunflower Mural
I was so excited to get to go to Amsterdam over spring break. Of course one of the first things I did was visit the Van Gogh museum! The sunflower painting is amazing! I wish the museum would let visitors take photos. They did have have this mural where you could have your picture taken. Not the same!
Yes, it was cold in April (thus why I still have my coat on!).
Seeing the sunflower painting made me want to teach my students about Vincent's sunflowers.
I found a great lesson on the blog by Mr. Giannetto. Here is the link http://youngschoolart.blogspot.com/2014/10/1st-grade-sunflowers-in-progress.html. I just changed it a little.
I first read the book "Camille and the Sunflowers" by Laurence Anholt.
I showed the students several examples of his sunflower paintings and then we set to work.

I put paint on paper plates for each table and then we painted a sunflower together on brown construction paper.
When they were dry, students cut them out and glued them to the vase I had drawn previously. They loved this lesson and they turned out beautifully!
