4th Graders analyzed Vincent Van Gogh’s sketches and painting of his “Bedroom at Arles,” considering how a bedroom, specifically colors, patterns, furniture, and art, can represent a personality or elicit a mood. Students built a three dimensional model of a personalized dream bedroom using recycled cardboard and collage materials. Finally, they wrote a letter to a loved one, in the style of Van Gogh's letter to his brother Theo, describing the bedroom and the artistic choices that were made to complete it.
