Starry Night Tissue Collage

This was the second project we did using the techniques of Vincent Van Gogh. We used a sheet of black construction paper and applied cut out shapes of tissue paper to it. After applying the tissue paper a clear sealant was applied to cover the entire paper. A cityscape was cut out of black construction paper and glued to the collage. Oil pastels were used to add details to the project.

Extension Activity:
An activity I would like to try would be to create a background (two I’m thinking of are an underwater scene or a prairie scene) using a tissue paper collage. Then using construction paper, you would cut out items that go with the background scene (such as fish, eels, sharks, etc. for the underwater scene and buffalo, deer, rabbits, wagon trains, etc. for the prairie scene.)
