Van Gogh Mini-Inquiry

Today we studied the painting by Van Gogh called The Starry Night.

We discussed what we liked about it, what we thought he painted with, and there was some disagreement about whether Van Gogh painted the sun or the moon in the upper right hand corner.
We watched a video of an interactive Starry Night painting, which showed the flow and movement of the lines in the painting (if the video below doesn't work, you can click on the link above):
