Vincent Van Gogh

This is how my students, age 3-7, have been describing Vincent Van Gogh’s "Starry Night" to me this week:

It’s the stars, the moon, and the planets.

The sun is painting the picture.

It glows in the dark.

Bees are buzzing round and round.

It's fireworks, and puddles.

There's the wind.

But the wind is invisible!

It should be called, "The Dragon's Wind".

Or "The Moon Houses".

There’s a scary black castle.

No, it’s a church or a mountain or a cliff.

It is not. It’s seaweed.

It’s the sea witch under the water!

There’s a village. You can see the car lights.

The moon fell into the water.

It's a bedtime story.
