This project was inspired by Vincent Van Gogh. He created a mural of sunflowers for a friend who came to his home to visit. We drew a vase and three sunflowers with pencil, then colored in the vase with crayon and traced the sunflowers with brown crayon. After that, we painted the sunflowers yellow and made a checker pattern in the middle. Last, we glued on real sunflower seeds around the center.
For mine, I made a purple vase with a blue stripe and added a handle. I drew three very large sunflowers because I love bright yellow. I then added in the stems of the flowers and colored them with two different greens.
For an extension activity, the students could make a large mural on sunflowers as a class to hang on the wall to represent Van Gogh's wall mural he made for his friend. They could make them an size or design they wanted and by the end, on of the classroom walls would have a huge paper mural filled with sunflowers.
