The Pre-K students were read Camille and the Sunflowers a story about Vincent von Gogh by Laurence Anholt. Camille, a young boy, makes friends with a lonely artist named Vincent. Where Camille lived, the sunflowers grew so high they looked like real suns. . .One day a strange man arrived in Camille's town. He had a straw hat and a yellow beard." So begins this fascinating tale of Camille, a little boy who is the son of a small-town postman. Camille meets the man with the yellow beard, and they become friends. This bearded man is a painter named Vincent van Gogh. The story, based on a true-life incident, is beautifully illustrated in full color by the author (amazon.com).
Students created their own sunflower drawings. For the inside circle of the flower we traced a roll of tape, we added texture by placing mesh underneath and rubbing a crayon on top. We added a stem with crayon and the flower petals with oil pastels.
