Over the past six weeks the Year 6’s did some painting. It was collaborative art. It was fun, we were painting van Gogh’s “Starry night”. I used long dabs to make a mountain. I chose a small brush and I added more dabs of black paint to create the dark mountain. Well we were talking about how van Gogh’s earlobe came off and I came up with the quote of the week, “I love my earlobes.”
We used SOLO to describe our painting skills. My thinking is Relational because I can describe several things about van Gogh paintings and explain why I used this skill in this way. My next step is to describe how his painting skills impacted on our world and the influence he has had as an artist.
