This project is one that I did last year that I entitled Concentric Circle Bouquets. All the steps are exactly the same, except for this year we took a heavy emphasis on artist Vincent van Gogh and his painting of Sunflowers. After we created our concentric circles in tints and shades of orange, yellow and brown, students were shown how to create petals around the centers.
I shared the following video with my students on the life and art of Vincent van Gogh.
After the video, we examined more closely his painting of the Sunflowers. Each work table received two copies of the painting to look at during their work time for reference as they painted the petals on their pieces.
Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh
I received many compliments on these third grade paintings. It makes my heart swell with pride when my students do a job well done! Examples of Student Work:
