Kinder Van Gogh

This year, we have really developed a love of art! We love sculpting, sketching, colour mixing, photography, collage and of course painting. For our last big collobrative project, we re-created a still life painting by Vincent Van Gogh.

                     

Before we started to paint, we studied the painting and looked closely at the colours.  The morning class painted the red chrysanthemums and the afternoons painted the yellow ones.

                

                       

Once the flowers had dried, we cut them out and placed them on big mural paper.  Usually the background would get painted first, but with Ms. Dowd's broken foot, we had to improvise a little.

After Ms. Dowd glued down the flowers, we started painting the background. We looked at Van Gogh's original painting and tried to make it look at close as possible.
