Known for his unique
painting style and cultural influence, our first graders discovered how to
identify Vincent van Gogh’s brush techniques throughout his artist portfolio.
We dissected his unique Landscape paintings, portraits, and still life
paintings that are now coveted by national museums around the world.
For this project the first graders created
their own vase of sunflowers by incorporating mixed media into their artwork.
Mixed media is the use of multiple types of mediums such as paint, paper, and
pencil. The students used watercolor paint for their background and table top,
construction paper and construction crayons for their vase and decoration
aspect of the piece, and then tissue paper for the sunflowers to create a three
dimensional aspect to their artwork. Though structured with a common objective
in mind, each vase of flowers resulted in the unique characteristics of each
student.
