BEDROOM AT ARLES
Look at Van Gogh’s painting, Bedroom at Arles.
How do think Van Gogh felt about his bedroom?
How do you feel about your room at home?
Are there special things you’ve put in your room to make it feel personal? (posters on walls, collections of things, pets, your own artwork, choice of color on walls or bedspread, music, computer or other electronic items, etc.)
DRAW your own bedroom, try and use color and details to express how you feel about your own bedroom.
Remember...things are never that hard to draw when you simplify! Focus on the basic lines and shapes you see!
Or...
CREATE your own bedroom paper sculpture.
