Starry City Night

Vincent Van Gogh's “Starry Night” painting has inspired many an art project, and this is just one more.
1. Distribute 9" x 12" watercolor paper, and ask students to make several large yellow oil pastel circles of various sizes in the top half. Next they are to draw with a blue oil pastel lots of curvy lines that go around all the yellow circles.
2. Give the students blue liquid watercolor paint and have them “wash” the entire paper with the blue paint.
3. Each student is to take a 6" x 12" sheet of black paper, and with a white oil pastel, draw a sky line that stairsteps up and down to make a building silhouette. (Make sure that the skyline is drawn horizontally and not vertically to match the watercolor paper.) Lots of details should be added, like windows and doors.
4. Lastly, the black silhouette should be cut out and glued to the sky background.

I teach art lessons for my friends' kids who are home schooled. I just used this project for them and it turned out great, even with the three year olds in the bunch! Thanks for the great blog. I have a lot of stuff bookmarked for the future.
