Starry Night

Today we read, Camille and the Sunflowers to introduce our new artist...Vincent Van Gogh! It was a great book that exposed us to some of his more famous pieces of art and also eluded to how many people did not appreciate Van Gogh until much later. Much to my surprise...no one knew that he cut off his ear (they usually blurt it out at some point during this book) and I was certainly not going to get into it! We started painting our own "Starry Night" pictures but will have to finish tomorrow. We love how his paintings are mostly blues, yellows and greens...and mixing them to make the colors more interesting! I only captured parts of their work because this project is still a work in progress!
