Starry Night Collaborative Art Project



We have had a fantastic week in 5S! This afternoon, the children worked on a collaborative art project involving re-creating Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night". We read a story about Van Gogh, discussed his techniques and how he expressed himself artistically through use of colour. The children then each received a cut out square from a poster of "Starry Night". They used oil pastels to create their portion of the masterpiece. When we put them all together we will have our very own 5S Starry Night. I was very proud of how diligently the children worked on their pieces and the finished products are wonderful.

Reminders:
-"Meet the Teacher" Evening is Thursday 24th September at 6:30pm
-The Terry Fox Run at Wentworth is on Friday 25th September (you will have received an email about online donations)
-comfort kits are due Friday 18th September-see detailed instructions on page 10 of "Prep Talk"

I hope to see many of you at the BBQ this evening. Enjoy the fabulous weather!
