How does your art feel?

Glue and Pastel - Van Gogh's Olive Trees

This week was a case of plan B...C, and D.  As I worked each lesson plan I made adjustments over and over to the point at which we had tons of different projects going on!  It was interesting to try to adapt each lesson that went...well, not exactly according to plan as a brand new teacher.  But I think after checking out the students texture studies you will agree that all in all it was a great week!  

Let's see, the theme of the week was physical texture - actual texture that you can feel in art.  We talked about Vincent VanGogh and how although he was a painter his paintings were wonderful examples of extreme texture!  We had fun learning our VanGogh facts while exploring physical texture in all different ways!

...and to my student followers, the painting that VanGogh sold in his lifetime was "The Red Vineyard".  It was sold for approximately $1000.00 dollars to a fellow artist friend.
