Our Sunflower Paintings

In June, the children in Room 204 participated in a special workshop with a visiting artist, Karen Harkins. She shared some books with the students about the artist Vincent van Gogh and his sunflower paintings. The students were then inspired and challenged to produce their own interpretations of his paintings. They learned how to explore, experiment, and use feedback to create these wonderful sunflower paintings. It was a creative and challenging experience! 
We also planted sunflower seeds that we hoped would grow in our gardens over the summer! It took three attempts to finally get some seedlings to sprout ---growing sunflowers proved to be more difficult for us then painting them!
