Starry Night

I saw this lesson in Arts and Activities years ago.  I do some version of it every year with Kindergarten.  We look at van Gogh's "Starry Night" and name what we see.  During the first class we Glue shapes for the houses, moon, and the cypress tree.  The cypress is cut from a 6x9 rectangle of green paper.  I show kids how to draw a tall triangle, but cut a crazy line to give the tree a wild texture like van Gogh's tree.  If time allows they can draw details with marker.

Week two, we made our stars shine by adding them in glitter.  Then we painted the wind!
