TODAY WE ARE INQUIRERS

Someone who asks questions, seeks deeper meaning, and makes connections.

WHY

We aim to develop students who are inquirers. 

They know how to learn independently and with others. 

Your Challenge:

Research: 

What inspired Van Gogh to paint Starry Night? 

What emotions, techniques, or hidden meanings can you discover?

As you work, integrate your research into the design of your painting

For example,

• Use colours that represent specific emotions Van Gogh was feeling during the time he painted Starry Night.
• Add symbols or hidden messages within the stars or landscape that reflect your findings.
• Experiment with brushstroke techniques that Van Gogh might have used or reimagine the texture to make your work more expressive.

Engagement with the process

High score for research!
Show of your learning :)
