Preschool Painting Technique For Van Gogh Sunflowers?

This video tutorial teaches how to draw Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflowers in a vase, using acrylic paint and paper. The process involves creating the base, creating the flowers, coloring them, adding stems, texture, highlights, and backgrounds. The tutorial is suitable for both kids and adults, and is designed to provide high-quality art education.

The lesson plan includes worksheets and a tutorial on how to paint sunflowers with acrylic paint. Students will examine Van Gogh’s style and materials used, and can create their own still life featuring a vase of flowers. Oil pastel is a lower-prep choice, but not as fast as tempera paints.

In summer, it is recommended to pick up a bunch of sunflowers from the store or cut them from your backyard to invite your kids to paint. Van Gogh explored sunflowers repeatedly, and this lesson combines watercolors, coffee filters, and piper cleaners to create a mixed-media project.

The lesson begins by showing the sunflower bouquet on the table, then showing the flower stems, brown centers, and petals. Using various oil pastels, students color the composition, which takes time and may take a while.

A collection of videos is available to teach drawing and painting your own version of Van Gogh’s sunflowers, aimed at different ages and abilities. Students will also learn about Van Gogh’s life and times, and the beautiful, fun experience of drawing Van Gogh’s Vase with 12 Sunflowers.
