Starry Starry Night

We read a book about Vincent van Gogh's life.  We learned that he copied a lot of paintings to learn how to paint before he started to paint his own.  We copied his painting Starry Starry Night. 
Starry Starry Night
First we made a horizon line and made swirls in the sky. We made lots of little lines like van Gogh did.

 We drew a yellow moon and 11 stars. We made the moon and stars twinkle.

Then we drew two big cypress trees and five houses. 

 We really took our time.

We painted blue paint over the whole picture.

We are real artists!
