Van Gogh 2

Creating this collage was very fun and very easy.  First you affix tissue paper using Gloss Medium.  Then you add a landscape of your choice cut out of construction paper.  I choose to do the Delicate Arch from Arches National Park, Moab, Utah.  The lines in the "rock" were created by smearing oil pastels.  The final touch was to add "swirls," which van Gogh was famous for, using a silver permanent marker.


The idea I had for integrating the collage across the curriculum was to first have a science lesson on what causes things like rainbows, the Northern Lights, and the colors of a sunset.  Then encourage the students to recreate these patterns in their work.
