Have you ever looked up at the night sky and imagined painting your very own starry masterpiece? Vincent van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" is like a dreamy night sky full of swirling colors and shining stars. Let's dive into an adventure where you can make your own starry night artwork while getting inspired by van Gogh's amazing painting! After reading Katie and the Starry Night by James Mayhew, our preschoolers created their own starry night painting.
Getting Ready to Paint:
Before you start, gather your art supplies. You'll need colorful paints, crayons, markers, paper, and some cool tools to add special textures. Find things around your house like cotton swabs, toothbrushes, sponges, etc.
Texture Adventures:
"Starry Night" is all about swirls and textures! Try using a sponge to make the paint look bumpy, or gently press on your paper to create interesting textures. You can even use your fingers to add fun touches.
Awesome Art Materials:
Use your imagination and mix different art materials. Try painting with your crayons on top of your paint, or use markers to make bright stars. Mixing different things will make your artwork look super cool!

"Starry Night" has amazing colors like deep blues, bright yellows, and rich blues. Pick your favorite colors to paint your night sky. Mixing colors together can make your painting look magical!
