The 2nd Grade students studied the artist Vincent Van Gogh and his artwork. We also read the book, Camille and the Sunflowers. The students were able to create a giant sunflower creating emphasis in their artwork. Then they were shown how to blend colors using oil pastels. The students had to choose a cool color for their background to make their sunflower "pop" in their piece of art.
I love this idea, what did you mount them to and how did you do mount them? Thanks!

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI believe just mounted them on a piece of poster board and glued them :)
Is there a lesson plan to go with this?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing! I want to do this with my students
DeleteWhat size paper did you use? How long did project take with 2nd graders? It's BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteBackground done after the sunflower? What kind of paper was used? Did the kids sketch in their sunflower with pencil first before using oil pastels?
ReplyDeleteYes we also use Pencil to draw first and then the rest is with oil crayons. Talked about blending :)
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of paper did you use? What black glue did you use. I am having trouble finding black glue
ReplyDeleteWhite glue dries clear and then takes the colour of the paper
