Today's art lesson, from Bluffton seventh grade art students
Artist Vincent Van Gogh's name and works are alive and well in the Bluffton seventh grade art program this spring, taught by Nicole Anderson.
Eariler this year art students created a "group grid" drawing of Vincent Van Gogh's "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear," originally created in 1889. In that project each student received a small piece of a painting by Van Gogh. The goal was to duplicate and enlarge the smaller piece using oil pastels.
The students put their pieces back together in order to come up with the large composite, which was then on display in the hallway of the middle school art department.
Now, the seventh grade artists have unveiled their second Van Gogh. Using the "grid" method, they have re-created his work titled "Road with Cypress and Star," which he painted in 1890.
The two versions are below this story.
