All elementary school students in RSU 1, our school district, learn about the artist Vincent Van Gogh. Maybe you can picture his “Starry Night” with it’s many beautiful cool colors and shimmering halos of light around the yellow stars. One of the things that made Van Gogh’s paintings stand out from those of other artists of his time was the way that he let his brush strokes show instead of smoothing them out.
After looking at and talking about Van Gogh’s work, 3rd Graders used his painting style as inspiration making these pumpkin patches. These are coming out great and will start going up in the hall this week! I would like to recognize a young man in Mr. Deane’s class who always makes Careful, Quality Work. He was also the first student to add a fence at the edge of his pumpkin patch, an idea that some others students added to their compositions. Nice work R.S. Student Artist of the Week!
