Vincent Van Gogh Bedroom Sculpture Art Lesson

In this lesson, students will learn about Vincent Van Gogh and his series of paintings called, "Bedroom in Arles". Then they will design and sculpt their own dream bedroom with paper, cardboard tubes, recyclables, and whatever art supplies you have on hand. This is my absolute favorite project that I do every year with fifth grade as their end-of-the-year project so they can really show me what they can do by the end of our time together in elementary art class.

This lesson includes-

• a 30 page PDF slideshow
• facts and pictures of Van Gogh's artwork
• detailed lists and pictures of materials
• step-by-step directions on how to make different types of furniture
• two different versions of a brainstorming worksheet for students
• a teacher tips page

I have spent many years developing this project to make sure it includes tons of helpful tips and tricks to help you and the students be successful with their bedroom sculptures. I guarantee this will be a lesson you will want to do year after year!

The recommended length of time to spend on this lesson is four to five 45 minute class periods.
