Van Gogh Sunflowers.

Fifth grade learned about Van Gogh and the process of painting the sunflower.  We used thick brush strokes to get the same feel that Van Gogh had in his paintings.  We tried to create texture through the paint.  We also discussed composition and how to lay out a peice of art.  Very nice results.

The use of SPACE.

The second graders learned about space and how the way you use space affects how you see things.  Space is basically the area around and between objects.  Second graders got it!
