Description: Students explored the style of Vincent van Gogh by creating a mixed-media artwork using tissue paper and glue. After observing Van Gogh’s use of bold colors, movement, and expressive lines, students layered torn tissue paper onto paper using glue to create a vibrant, textured background. Once the glue dried, students added a black silhouette over the top to “black out” parts of the image, creating strong contrast and emphasizing shape and space. This process helped students understand how artists use color, texture, and contrast to create mood and visual interest.
Extension Activity: Students will analyze their artwork by identifying at least three elements of design used in their piece (such as color, texture, shape, or space). They will explain how the black silhouette changes the way the colors and textures are seen. Then will write short reflection connecting their artwork to Van Gogh’s expressive style and use of movement.
