| Lesson Plan Submitted by Val Warwick, primary art teacher in Tasmania, Australia. 
As an introduction to a study on Van Gogh I have photocopied his Cypresses painting (in black and white only) and given a copy each to the
children. However, one group was allowed to use coloured pencils, one group used crayons, another pastels, and another texta
colours (textas are markers). After the children have coloured them as they imagine they should look, they share their reasons for their use of
colour, texture, etc. Only then do they see the painting as Van Gogh did it. This excites the children to find out more.
