Nighttime Wonders



In this Activity we learned about Vincent VanGough’s Starry Night painting. They asked us to close our eyes and envision a place at night the sounds what you might see. I imagined a river funning through a forest with mountains in the background. Then we had to draw our scene we imagined. We created our scratchboards by coloring the entire piece of paper with different colors then painting over it with black tempura paint and dish soap. Then we took the landscape and colored on the back with white chalk and laid it on top of the scratchboard and traced the scene. The chalk made an outline on the scratchboard then we scratched out the landscape. 
Extension Activity:
This could be a fun way to do our vocabulary words for what ever subject. The students could have the words on the scratchboard then the definition on the back of the cards.
