Vivid, Vibrant Van Gogh: A Fall Thematic Bundle
Vivid, Vibrant Van Gogh: A Fall bundle introduces children to the wonderful world of Van Gogh. Using his beautiful paintings as inspiration to understand the artist’s painting style, children create their own paintings inspired by Van Gogh’s famous artwork. These lessons are perfect examples of incorporating art history with basic art supplies to create the most beautiful works of art that every student will be proud of.
I have found over the past 20 plus years that creating thematic units from K-6 is more manageable for the classroom setting. You can gather inspirational pieces and books that can be used among grade levels which saves you time and preparation.
This bundle contains lessons for every grade level from K-6th.
All of the lessons can be completed in only two 50-minute classes.
These mixed media projects use oil pastels, tempera paints, chalks, sulphite paper, and construction paper along with painted paper scraps to create the most beautiful fall paintings any parent, grandparent or teacher would loved to frame.
These lessons are great for ages 6-12 but many of these lessons can be adapted for students when using these directions.

HELPFUL TIP ABOUT PRINTING THE FILE
I like to print out my lesson plans and store them with my Art Teacher planner. If you are concerned about printing you may want to print just the coloring sheets handouts. I’ve designed them in black and white so you can photocopy them inexpensively.
Thanks for stopping by and for letting Painted Paper Art be your top destination for art lessons.
