First Grade Sunflowers

With the weather taking a cold turn this week, I decided to do a project with the first graders that would remind us of what we will see when the flowers begin to bloom in 4-6 months (who knows, we do live in Nebraska). We talked about the artist Vincent van Gogh, who is famous for painting Starry Night. I told the students a little about his life, and we looked at another one of his paintings, Sunflowers. We were inspired by this painting, and used oil pastels to draw and color our own unique sunflower. I am hoping to put these drawings on display somewhere in the school, to keep our spirits up as we try to survive December!
