This  Year 5 and 6 work was inspired by the beautiful sunflowers that are around at the moment, particularly the "Pick-your-own Sunflowers" currently on offer in Dunnstown. There have been so many beautiful photos of people enjoying this opportunity. It inspired me to show students the "Sunflower" artworks of the very famous artist, Vincent Van Gogh. There is actually one of his sunflower paintings currently in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra!   So for this cheery sunflower work, we have explored and discussed the artworks of not only Vincent Van Gogh, but also an Australian artist, Dana Kinter and the illustrative work of Eric Carle. He is the famous author/illustrator of many books including "the Very Hungry Caterpillar." Students have created their own beautiful "Sunflower" artworks using collage and drawing skills and techniques.
