Van Gogh Art


The Van Gogh art project uses thick lines, along with fore ground, middle ground, and back ground. Instead of trying to copy Van Gogh's "Starry Night", I decided to make a scene from my farm. The back ground is the horizon with the sun setting for the night. I used many different colors to show the different reflections the sky can have. The middle to front ground were many trees, like a forest. The trees in the back are smaller to represent the distance factor. The fore ground is a typical red barn with straw in the upstairs windows. I also textured the straw to give it a realistic look.
This art project allows students to use their creativity on representing layers. The project could also be used for a print class to show how you have to practice planning layouts. It shows how to organize.
