During our unit on Van Gogh, I wanted to do something different from Starry Night. In the third grade we had done some study of portraiture earlier in year so I thought why not why not combine the two. Do a review of facial porportions while studying the unique techinique of Van Gogh's brushstrokes. The lesson started as a tradition portrait but then using markers, students used small dashes to color in their faces and background. They were also encouraged to use multiple colors together for a richer effect.
