1st Grade: Sunflowers in Progress

Painting Sunflowers
1st Grade 

Collaborative Art

Each child drew one sunflower and painted it with a dabbing technique to represent Vincent van Gogh's style of painting. They created visible brushstrokes and applied thick paint. 

 The sunflowers will then be cut out and glued to a large paper with a vase drawn on it. The vase will be filled with the sunflowers from one entire class.

  Collaborative art is a great way to promote class unity and a creative community.

The students were inspired by Vincent van Gogh's Sunflower paintings.
