Learned about the Letter V this week, so we did an introduction to Vincent Van Gogh. I showed Faith his famous "Starry Night" painting and we discussed colors and how it looks from far away and close up. Then we viewed one of his "Sunflowers" paintings and Faith filled out a worksheet on it. Counting flowers. Identifying colors. Identifying "V" objects, such as the vase in the picture and how he signed his name "Vincent" on the vase. Then we did a craft by glueing seeds, beans, and pasta on top of a printout of the sunflowers painting.
