This project was inspired by Van Gogh's landscapes of, what to me, seems like the countryside of the Europe Van Gogh would have called home. In this project, I finger painted a scene that is behind my parent's home. The swirling style of the sky and the creek follow Van Gogh's painting style along with the mixing of colors and bold lines.
An extension activity I would use with this project would be to have the students create and write a story that went along with the scene. It could be non-fiction or fiction, but the character they choose would have to describe the scene, and how it makes them feel. It's a great writing activity that will result from their own creativity.
