This pictures is one way of experimenting with bright colors and swirling lines as van Gogh did.
This finger painting was done on finger paint paper. The idea was to learn to mix colors and to become more comfortable with the motions involved in painting. It also allowed me to experiment with movement in my painting.
The main extension project related to this project is learning about Vincent van Gogh. I would implement a history lesson discussing world events during his life that may have influenced his work and possibly have the students create an actual time line. Depending on the age of the students I could also have them each do a timeline of van Gogh's life and especially of some of his paintings.
