In my Standard IV Vocational Skills Class we have just finished studying Vincent Van Gogh. In preparation to study "Starry Night", and to make our own night landscapes, we went out to the edge of campus one night to look at the stars, the lights of Bukoba and the glow of the moon on the lake. My pupils pointed out the milky way, Orion and several other constellations that they learned with Teacher Gayle. They were surprised by all the different colours they saw even though it was night time, as well as the small twinkles of light on the lake that identified the many islands just off shore.
At first my students found it a challenge to draw in the style of Van Gogh. He requires a lot of patience, espcially for those who are used to shading quickly with one color. However, after practicing some bold strokes and building colors and lines together, (I drew my own Van Gogh landscape in chalk on the blackboard to demonstrate as they colored on paper), they created some absolutely wonderful and vibrant landscapes. Here is some of their work.
