This week 3rd grade started their Starry Night cityscapes! This project was inspired by the awesome art teacher, Katie Allain. Her images on Instagram look so fun, and amazing, I had to try one with our students! Give her a follow on IG at @MrsAllainArt
Here's how we will be creating ours!
(in black, blue, and yellow)
(yellow, orange,white, blue, turquoise)
paint cups with lids
painted paper scraps
Day 1: Paint the background! We'll talk about the art of Vincent Van Gogh, his brush strokes, his use of paint, his technique, and his most famous painting Starry Night! The kids used a circle tracer to cut out their moon, and we shaded the edges with a gold oil pastel.

| Here's some beautiful backgrounds from Mrs. Torres' Class! |
Mrs. Dimas' class is off to a great start!
Day 2: Finish painting the background and work on the cityscape! Use pre-cut black strips that the students can use to created their buildings. They can design the tops of their buildings to create their own unique work of art!
Then we used our painted paper scraps to make windows, and line on the road!
They don't have to be in rainbow order, I just made mine that way!
Stay tuned for some awesome art!
Mrs. Campbell's and Mrs. Dimas' class are off to a great start!
