catma Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Off the top of my head and not knowing your children's strengths: Examine his choice of subject, style and brush strokes, then create your own images using his style - have thick gouache style paint or use pallette knives to apply. This would support EAD skills. Use images that are accessible such as starry night or sunflowers Use Katie and the sunflowers http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/james+mayhew/katie+and+the+sunflowers/4568035/?gclid=CJri646U9LQCFXDLtAodPHgAAg (other books are available in the same style) Get them to photograph their bedroom and then create images using their rooms as a basis in mixed media ?

apple Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 could you give the children the challenge of finding something out about Van Gogh as a start to your theme? that way you can include their 'research' into what the children and yourself want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
