The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh

Inspired by The Starry Night painted by Vincent Van Gogh.

We mixed thick poster/acrylic paint with a few drops of pva glue. Painted the sky and then used a fork to create the swirly marks in the paint.

This is the result...

    Excellent! As an artist myself, I absolutely love to see what children do with the master's wealth of inspiration! I never fail to be more inspired!

    I love art projects that are based on famous works of art. Children learn so much from it. Well done!

    What fun! I had a student who recreated Starry Night on a bed sheet to hang on her wall! That project took us quite some time!
