Starry Night Kindergarten Art Project

A colorful, abstract drawing of various geometrical shapes and bright suns in a crayon-like style, ideal for a kindergarten art project.

Here is an easy Starry Night inspired project that I like to teach to my kindergarten art classes.

A child's colorful drawing of fireworks above a city skyline with black buildings and bright, playful doodles.

There is a great Van Gogh book for kids called “Getting to Know the Greatest Artists”, by Mike Venezia (my favorite series of art books for kids.)

Kindergarten art project featuring colorful childlike drawings of stars, flowers, and butterflies on a white background with black mountain-like silhouettes.

After viewing the swirling lines, dots and dashes that Van Gogh used, the students create a wild and swirly night sky scene with markers.  A silhouettte landscape or city scene is added on the bottom with black paper.

A child's drawing features colorful spirals, stars, and abstract shapes above a black city skyline with towers.

Star stickers can be added to the sky and shape stickers can be placed on the city buildings for windows.

    Cute project. I love teaching kids about famous artists and what they can learn from them. Just ran across your website. Wonderful resources.

  2. Hi Marcia!

    We just wanted to let you know about the animated film, “Art Story” from Disney veterans Chuck Williams and Aaron Blaise. This movie tells the tale of a young boy, Walt, and his Grandpa’s adventures when they get sucked into the imaginative world of paintings. While trapped on the other side of the canvas, the two encounter famous faces and places, giving viewers of all ages the chance to learn about art in an interactive and fun way. They’ll meet familiar painted faces, such as Mona Lisa, and explore famous places like “Starry Night” by Van Gogh!

    However, in order to move forward, “Art Story” needs fans like you to back the Kickstarter project and share it with your family and friends. “Art Story” is a heartwarming and memorable movie that audiences will cherish for years to come, help bring this movie to life by showing your support today!

    To back or find out more about “Art Story,” head to our Kickstarter page here: http://bit.ly/ArtStoryKS

    Thanks!
    Team Art Story
