Starry Night Pumpkin Patch



Students learned how to create a sense of space through overlapping, how movement or energy could be conveyed with stylized lines, and how 2D shapes could be turned into 3D forms simply by using lines that emphasize that form.  
Pumpkins were drawn with pencil in a style that would portray a three dimensional quality.  They were challenged to paint their pumpkins without using orange by using red and yellow.  After a discussion of Vincent van Gogh’s "Starry Night", students created movement in their skies with oil pastels to replicate the lines found in van Gogh’s famous painting.
