Creating Movement like Van Gogh

In this art lesson, students learn about the famous Post-Impressionist artist, Vincent van Gogh. Then students complete a painting project focused on creating movement with short choppy brush strokes, like van Gogh.

This 23-page lesson plan includes the following:

• A brief overview of “movement,” one of the Principles of Design
• Vocabulary words and definitions
• Clear and concise instructions for the art project
• A line drawing of The Starry Night and Wheat Field with Cypress, which can be used in the art project

• Suggestions for scaling the project to different skill levels
• Encore ideas for extending the project and learning through repetition
