Sunflowers

For this lesson students deconstructed Van Gogh's work to create a painting of a sunflower. The lesson's emphasis centered on the same ideas: color, use of space, perspective, and technique. This week we also focused on texture and dimension.


The steps involved in this project were: Step One: using a yellow colored pencil, sketch the outline of the sunflower beginning with flower's center, followed by the petals and a stem and/or leaf. Step Two: paint the light colored areas first.










Step Three: Using newly learned methods of color blending and mixing, create details and dimension.

Step Four: Paint flower's center taking special care to create a textured look using proper painting techniques.
