4th Van Gogh type Sunflowers in Vase tempera
The beginning of the year is a transitional time so it's good to focus on projects that don't demand too much in terms of preparation and supplies. The theme for the beginning of this year was Sunflowers. For inspiration we looked at works from Van Gogh, O'Keeffe, and Klimt.
Because listening to directions is a really important skill in art, the assignments I gave really focused on procedures. I explained that in the future they would have an opportunity to express themselves and their creativity in unique ways, but for now I want them to learn a new technique and follow the directions.
Anyway, the Sprouting Artists did a great job of following directions and demonstrating their personality.
