Still Life Collage
This multiple step/session project connects to a variety of themes and standards. It introduces students to the basics of a Still Life and the work of artist Vincent Van Gogh while having them work with a ruler and directional vocabulary (vertical, horizontal and diagonal ) to draw/create the table. Explores vocabulary such as symmetrical, foreground, middle ground and background and allows for a lot of individual expression.

Starry Nights masterpieces while allowing students to add their own seasonal winter creativity. Using black mat board they painted using sponges and corks in white tempera.

Where is the vase?
I shared this project with 2nd grade artists but it can be adjusted to challenge a variety of age groups. Where is the vase, reinforces the use of foreground, middle ground and background using watercolor and both torn and cut paper collage. Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings and other classic still life pieces are a great visual support element and discussion focus.
This project can also connect to color theory and the elements of art.
