Mini Project Packet: Vincent Van Gogh

Take a short history on Vincent Van Gogh's life and what inspired his famous "Starry Night" painting. Listen to these audiobooks for a fun story about the painting: "Camille and the Sunflowers" by Laurence Holt. https://youtu.be/3WD6n97L6G0?si=cWSehYkyPf44zk8s "Katie and the Starry Night" by James Mayhew. https://youtu.be/26w8WJz_9dQ?si=4AN0hFDcGEo_j2Ni

Once you've explored the history and stories of "Starry Night", follow the directions on how to make your own "starry" stars with borax. IMPORTANT: Do not use plastic supplies with or ingest the borax! Once the stars are made, paint your version of "Starry Night" or a new masterpiece and paste the stars on to add texture. Reflect on how Van Gogh's painting makes you feel and if you like it or not.
