Van Gogh Landscape Collage






Here is my Van Gogh Landscape collage. For this project you need: construction paper, different color tissue paper, glue, white crayon and oil pastels. To begin this project, you want to cut of shapes with the tissue paper. You can create whatever kind of shape you want and glue them to your black sheet of construction paper. Once you cover enough space with the tissue paper, you will cover your entire black sheet of construction paper with tempera. I let the construction paper dry and then I used the white color and white oil pastel to add lines to try to create some movement in my artwork. Then I took another sheet of black construction paper and created a city outline. I then took the oil pastel and added windows and a street to try to give it a city feel.

For an extension activity students could find a place that is special to them and try to recreate it. For example a student could do Minneapolis and create it however they want and then explain to one another why they chose the place they did and how it makes them feel. This would give students the opportunity to be creative and create a place in their image.
