Starry Night Zentangle Second Grade Art Lesson

Starry Night Zentangle

2nd Grade

Objective: TLW draw Van Gogh's "Starry Night" using the Zentangle method.

Sub-Objective:
TLW demonstrate the zentangle method of drawing lines and patterns.
TLW understand how to map a drawing.
TLW choose the lines, color, and space.

This is a pretty cool way for the learners to study Van Gogh's "Starry Night" and feel successful. One of the quietest classes I teach is the zentangle lesson. This lesson seems to rearrange the student's psyche.

History of Van Gogh's artistic life and how he was a head of others in illustrating wind currents (turbulent flow).

Create aspect is the choice of media and color palette.

Materials available for choice:

I have found that making the materials available everyday easier if you have a set place for them. I have a "wet" table with paints, brushes, containers, and "nasty" rags. A "dry" table with oil pastels, markers, chalk pastels, color pencils, yarn, and crayons. Under the "dry" table are the cardboard boxes with an assortment of cardboard scrap pieces, poster board scrap pieces and a box of color tissue paper. Another section of the room has the "paper" table. This table has several types and sizes of paper to choose.
