I discussed the life and art of Vincent VanGogh. For the k-1 students I showed them the Mati & DADa VanGogh video (through YouTube). For the 2-5 students I showed them the video...

Really good book! Watch the reading below... 

Here is a read  along of the book on YouTube. 

Here is another video of a Great Book Reading

Study Sunflowers from the front, back and sides. 

How big is the middle compared to the petals?

How many petals are around it?

Photos of Sunflower in my BackYard, taller than me!

See more SUNFLOWER PHOTOS here... 

After studying what sunflowers look like, look at some of VanGogh's Paintings of them. 

when he couldn't paint outside, he brought he outside in to paint!

STEP BE STEP SUNFLOWERS

You will want to show these techniques on your Final Sketch:

Variety, Size changes, Overlapping, Movement and Space. 

First Practice with the proportions of the petals and the center. 

Practice with the correct amount of petals (16 or more). 

Maisy, 5th grade, moving her sketch to final paper. 

Krahn Elementary 2017

Practice drawing a whole sunflower, some from different angles and some with movement. 

Then plan out your final design on 2nd half of paper. 

Move the idea you planned to larger multi media paper .

 

After you move your final plan to big white paper. 

Outline with Sharpie and Paint. 

I added cool shadows first, then painted warmer highlights. 

In the end, you cannot tell I used blue so much because the warm color on top neutralizes it.

Another option I will try in future; 

Step by Step

Crayon Resist Paper cut-out 

------------------

Long Sunflowers

For my older students I tried it on longer paper having them go off the edge with the design while using overlapping as well... 

Start with pencil and outline with Sharpie...

Students working... 

2nd grader (above)

5th graders (above)

I used a white crayon on the top edges of my petals and leafs to make a highlight that would be later resisted by the paint...

Use tempera cakes or watercolor to fill in the flowers and background.
