Looked at "Starry Night" one last time with a group of 6-7 year-olds. We transported the curly, swirly stars to the night sky over downtown Dallas with local landmarks. Dallas has a observation tower/restaurant/landmark like lots of big cities. Our Reunion Tower looks like a sparkling dandelion fluff. I am surprised Vince didn't paint it into his picture, since it obviously belongs there!
This week we're investigating Vince's sunflower paintings, and Eve Bunting's Sunflower House. I was surprised to find the kids excited to be called Carly Van Gogh, Luke Van Gogh, Meghan Van Gogh, Alex Van Gogh...They liked it almost as much as having their names turned into dinosaurs like Carlydactyl, or Carlysaurus Rex, or Brontocarly...
