Starry Night Finger Painting

This is my interpretation of Starry Night by Van Gogh. As I look out my window on this calm, gloomy night my hair gently blows as the wind softly comes into my window. I look out into the close-knit community I live in and realize everyone is tucked asleep in their warm cozy beds. For some reason I am not able to sleep so I begin to paint the town. As I am drawn into the night my painting becomes darker and darker and swirls flow throughout the sky. I am staring wide awake into this calm starry night.

Extension:  Students could do this weekly for differnt book reports they may have to give or books required to read.  When completeing the book they can fingerpaint picutres to illustrate the story.
