The finger-painting project was in reference to Van Gogh’s Starry Night painting. We were to use bright colors and also use a swirly swipe with our fingers as we painted. We needed a foreground, middle ground and background. In my painting, my background was inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night. It was blue with hues of white and black. There was also yellow color in the background too. The middle ground was green pasture. In the foreground I painted a barn. I painted a barn because I grew up on a farm and I live on a farm now. I also put people in my painting in the middle ground. They are supposed to represent my family.
Extension activity: Finger-painting would be for the lower grade levels. A teacher could do an extension activity with finger-paints in science. If you are working on a certain animal or place, the students could paint a picture of the animal or the animals environment.
