Van Gosh's Sunflower

For this lesson, we learned about Van Gogh and his sunflower paintings. We were given a piece of construction paper (color didn't matter) and then told to draw a vase on it. We colored the vase in and then drew out three flowers. The inside of the flowers were colored by using a checker pattern. Next we painted the petals of the flower yellow and then glued sunflower seeds around the center of the flower. We had to make sure that the flowers were connected to the vase and colored in.
 
An extension activity for this could be going out and finding real life sun flowers. They could see and feel what an actual one looks like. They could also write a short paragraph describing the flower and what characteristics it had.
