The Picture Lady



We are so excited that the Picture Lady came to visit the first grade classes this week!  We saw several paintings by the artist Vincent van Gogh.  We learned that he often painted at night and that he used many small brush strokes and swirls in his paintings.  Many of the students were already familiar with the painting The Starry Night.  We even compared and contrasted two of his paintings.  We have been working on comparing and contrasting this week in Reader's Workshop!  The picture lady will be visiting once a month.
