I really enjoyed the other Starry Night project. We started by cutting strips, curves or circles of tissue paper. We used a variety of colors. Next, we took a sheet of 12 x 18 construction paper (color of your choice) and placed our strips of tissue paper on it. Then we took a type of paste and “painted” the strips onto the construction paper. The next step was to cut out some type of city scape from black construction paper. I chose to cut out a barn and fence line. After it is cut out you need to glue it onto the other prepared construction paper. Once everything is dry, use a metallic sharpie or white oil pastel to draw swirls and wavy lines in the background. Also, draw simple lines one the city scape too. If I would have made a city scape, I would have drawn windows on it with the sharpie, but since I drew a barn and fence, I just made simple lines on them representing the grain in the wood.
Extension activity: This project could be used with any grades from third to seventh. The project would just be a little more complex with older grade levels. If using this project in the science content area, the student could cut out a silhouette of an animal and use that instead of a city scape. If used in reading, the student could cut out a silhouette of the main part of the story they are reading.
