Van Gogh Collage

 Description: 

Using a type of glue similar to modge podgedge podge, students laid down a layer of tissue paper. Once the paper was dry, the students used oil pastels to recreate the swirls like Van Gogh created. Then, the students made a silhouette as the third layer. Finally, students were asked to write three sentences about what they learned from the Van Gogh lecture.

Extension Activity: 

After listening to a lecture on Vincent Van Gogh. Students will create a series of Van Gogh collages that make a story when shown together. For example, the series 'Life on the Farm' could have the barn, like pictured below, a tractor, the farmhouse, and a pasture of animals.
