In class we learned about Van Gogh and the major works he did. After learning a few things about him like how his feelings were transferred onto the canvas using his brushwork, we all made a finger painting that either looked like "Starry Night" or was a image of the sort. We had to have a foreground and background and a mid-ground. The whole point of the project was to feel the lines and the strokes he made, so it looked like it was flowing across the page. It is a great way to get kids to know Van Gogh and get them into art and use their hands.
As an extensive activity, teachers could use this as a artist of the month where they study an artist and either mimic that artist by creating a famous work or by using their technique in how they made it. It would help teachers have lessons for students to get them interested in art history and what the famous artists did in their time.
