Fourth graders at Pratt Elementary transformed their classroom into a vibrant art studio, thanks to a generous grant from the Sand Springs Education Foundation. As part of a comprehensive unit exploring the enchanting city of Paris, students embarked on a creative journey inspired by the iconic masterpiece, “The Starry Night” by Vincent van Gogh.
Through an exciting video lesson provided by Pinot’s Palette, students were guided step-by-step in recreating this renowned artwork. The hands-on experience immersed them in the world of art and developed their knowledge of color theory and observational abilities. By taking part in this process, students gained a deeper appreciation for Van Gogh’s genius and the power of artistic expression.
The project fostered creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of accomplishment as students brought their own unique interpretations to the canvas. This enriching experience not only enhanced their understanding of Paris but also ignited a passion for art that will continue to inspire them in the years to come.
