Van Gogh Starry Night

For this mixed media activity, we used a mix of construction paper and tissue paper. We chose a background paper in any color and black construction paper that was later used for the landscape element of this project. 
We used a mix of glue or media on paint brushes to apply the tissue paper to the construction paper. 
 Using the whole sheet of construction paper, we covered it in strips of tissue paper cover the paper. Creating a colorful and fluid sky. After we were finished applying the tissue paper, we drew our landscape on to the black construction paper adding details with pastels. Then we cut them out and glued them on to the sky we created. 

Extension: Students will write a post card to a classmate using the landscape the created as the location they are writing from. It will include “Today I saw “The sky looked like…“I felt…”“I can hear/see/smell…”. They will share in small groups.
