Art Lesson:  Draw Your Dream Bedroom

Supplies:  pencil, paper, crayons or markers

The Bedroom, by Vincent van Gogh, 1888

While he was in Arles, Van Gogh made this painting of his bedroom in the Yellow House. He prepared the room himself with simple furniture and with his own work on the wall. The bright colors were meant to express sleep. 

Vincent van Gogh had a very simple bedroom, and that is how he liked it.  But what if you could design your own bedroom? What would you put in it? 

Look around your bedroom.  If you could have anything you wanted in your bedroom, what would it be?  A movie screen?  A waterslide?  Draw a picture of your dream bedroom.  Don’t forget to add color!

Check out this video below for inspiration.

3-8 Grades

Lesson 4.  Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Story:  Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (2014 Animation, MOST VIEWED VIDEO!) Make:  Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Project:  Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Painting with Kindergarten! In this video the artist, Cassie Stephens, uses a type of paint dauber to make the letters. If you don’t have paint available, use a sharpie or even a black crayon.  When adding color, remember that if you want to use the water trick you need to use markers that are not permanent(no sharpies for color!)   Note:  Has your child done this before?  Try a new version of the idea.  Try drawing again but use numbers or make a Letter sculpture using aluminum foil..
