4th grade Van Gogh clay tiles

Every year, 4th grade creates tiles out of clay depicting ether Starry Night or Sunflowers by Van Gogh. They have become a favorite project among students and parents. 

Students learned about Van Gogh's style if painting and his use of texture in his work. Clay is the perfect medium in which to explore texture. Students created their tile then drew into the clay adding texture as they went along. Glaze was used to finish the tiles.
