Do you have all this extra tissue paper and do not know what to do with all of it? This Van Gogh Inspired Collage is the perfect solution. First, start with a dark colored sheet of construction paper to represent the sky. Then, cover the whole sheet with different colored tissue paper. Make sure to overlap the tissue paper to create some color variation. The tissue paper is then glued down with some glossy acrylic paint. Make sure to paint over the tissue paper as well as the rest of the construction paper to create a glossy feel. Once the glue has dried completely, using oil pastels cover your new tissue paper filled sky with different lines showing movement. To complete this project use a sheet of black construction paper and create a landscape over your tissue papered sky. I chose a sailboat and water as my landscape to fit with my cool colored sky. Below my artwork is a yellow sheet of paper with three facts about Vincent Van Gogh to complete the project.
An extension activity for this project could be creating a habitat for an animal your students pick that live in a certain biome learned in science. If a student picks a prairie dog, they would have to create a habitat for that prairie dog. They might include some grass, a few trees, and of course the prairie dog. Below their artwork, the students can include three facts about the biome that goes along with the animal they chose.
