Whoop Whoop! The artwork of several talented second graders is featured in the March issue of the the nation’s leading art education magazine, Arts & Activities.
Thanks to second graders Amelia, Keelan, Meghan, and Eden for sharing their artwork for my magazine article submission “Colorful Van Gogh Landscapes”.

Georgetown artists have been busy, busy busy! Here’s a look at some of their latest creations!
Sweet little oinkers from first grade…exploring 2D and 3D concepts with fun “Pig In A Puddle” landscapes.
Second grade Van Gogh landscapes with a warm color “Starry Night” sky – gorgeous!
Fourth grade abstract paintings in the style of Kandinsky’s “Several Circles No. 323”. Love these bright oil pastel and watercolor beauties!
More piggies, starry nights, and abstract circles can be found on ARTSONIA, Georgetown’s on-line art gallery. Visit HERE!
Second grade artists have been learning about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. They learned how Van Gogh created movement in his Starry Night painting by using short brushstrokes and lines to show the wind blowing and the stars glowing.
The Starry Night
Second graders used the same technique to show movement in their own winter starry night paintings.
They were excited to add a bit of glittery sparkle to their stars and moon!
After looking at Dutch architecture and examining Van Gogh’s village in his painting, they finished up their winter paintings with cut paper buildings, focusing on overlapping to create depth and interest in their villages.
I Can: understand and create the art principle of movement; use overlapping to create depth; carefully cut and glue (no glue monsters!)
Parents – wouldn’t these make beautiful Christmas cards? Find your child’s artwork on our ARTSONIA website and create beautiful holiday gifts using their original art pieces!
Third grade artists are finishing up their study of Louisiana artist George Rodrigue, creator of Blue Dog. They drew awesome dogs using oil pastels, and placed their dog on a background inspired by Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night.

Four dogs – aren’t they great?!

Chloe and her Mom stopped by the art room this morning to share her weekend art project! They visited the Brush Studio in Grand Rapids, and Chloe had a chance to create a beautiful Van Gogh Starry Night acrylic painting. Great work, Chloe – I love that you spent your Saturday creating!
Second Graders are finishing up a big Van Gogh Starry Night project. After examining many Van Gogh pieces, they created a Van Gogh village filled with Dutch architecture and “wedding cake” houses – the roof lines looked like wedding cakes to my second graders! We painted the starry night sky with tempera paint, painted and cut out our village, and….gorgeous Starry Nights.
