Young Van Gogh's
OK, I can't really motivate you to be young,
but
I can show you how much fun these
young Van Gogh's had in a special art class Saturday.
Carroll County schools had a Saturday gifted and talented
day where for 3 hours kids had the opportunity to try out new skills and learn all sorts of new concepts.
Let's get this party started!

I had a group of 13, 3rd - 5th graders and one 1st grader
come together for an hour to paint Starry Night
by Van Gogh.
Yep, I gave them a whole hour!

And that was ALL they needed!
These artists were motivated and intent on accomplishing the near impossible.

Paint a masterpiece in an hour.
Here's a short video of artists at work.
(I don't know why I always hold my phone in the wrong orientation, but I do. I'll have to work on that.)
You can see, they did a super job on that mission!
They worked hard, quickly, followed directions,
and everyone left with what I think are great interpretations of
Starry Night.
I'd like to thank my trusty side kick and dedicated helper,
Tara Mefford for be so willing to give up time on her Saturday and help with this great bunch of super painters.

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie! I have taught some of these kiddos before and some were brand new, but they all did a super job and it was fun to be back in the class room.
