Starry Night
"Starry Night" is an artist appreciation lesson based on Vincent van Gogh's infamous Starry Night. Tessa created her interpretation by drawing with oil pastels onto blue poster board. She also cut and glued shapes from various pieces of colored cardstock for the trees and houses.
Tessa really connected with this lesson and seemed to enjoy it more than other recent lessons. She loves using oil pastels. Later in the week, she created another version of Starry Night on her own. Heck, I even got into this one and created a mini version that I hung next to our school table.

| Tessa's completed rendition of "Starry Night." She really had a lot of fun with this one. I think it may be one of her favorites. |
 |
| Later in the week, Tessa created another version of "Starry Night" with oil pastels and construction paper on her own time. She hung it with poster putty in the hallway, which apparently now is an art gallery. |

| Inspiration struck as Tessa worked on her original "Starry Night," so I snatched a scrap from the trashcan and went to work. I hung my mini masterpiece, which is only a couple of inches tall, next to the school table. It makes me happy when I look at it for some reason. |
