Vincent's Sunflowers are done!

The 4th grade and after school art class both completed their paintings this week of Vincent Van Gogh's three sunflowers. It was a challenging painting for us but they really turned out quite good. We decided that the dark green background was too dull and learned to use artist medium with the paint to make a multicolored background. The wooden table also got some dressing in some of the paintings with checked or colored table cloths appearing.

The after school group will do another painting from Van Gogh but switch to watercolors in the next couple of weeks. I hope the 4th grade found a modern art painting they liked to follow up their trip to the Blanton. We may have to take a look at some of Picasso's work next week.
