Middle School: Recreation of Starry Night
Week 1: Craftsmanship Guide worksheet- This will help students focus on the way they color larger areas correctly.
Week 2: Pattern Page-Once students have worked on their craftsmanship, they will work on creating different patterns on a pattern practice sheet. They will also practice using oil pastels, as this will be their medium for their final project.
Week 3: Van Gogh Study- Students will study the artist Vincent Van Gogh. We will look at his artwork, and discuss how he has pattern incorporated in all his works. We will discuss where his artwork is displayed as well. We will then start sketching out a parody for his piece “Starry Night”.
Week 4: Projects-Students will produce sketches for their own parodies of the Starry Night. We will discuss how to incorporate personal interests that the students may have.
