8th Grade and Van Gogh

The 8th grade classes recently finished a project on Van Gogh. Students learned about Van Gogh's life and artistic career, as well as his impasto technique which makes his later paintings so recognizable as being a "Van Gogh".

For the project, students had to create their own interpretation of Van Gogh's most iconic work, Starry Night. Students were asked to pay attention to Starry Night's composition, as well as it's distinct brushwork and use of complementary colors.
