More Silhouettes by third grade, this time inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night!

This is one of my favorite projects, and the students love it too!  Taking our inspiration from the swirling sky in Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, we use oil pastels on black paper to create a dynamic and textured background.  The students used a limited palate and could only use shades of their selected colors.  Next came the cityscape that they designed, cut out, and embellished with more of their oil pastels.  The result is impressive, and the process was really fun!
