Vincent Van Gogh is probably most famous for sunflower paintings. This project shows how pictures can become more interesting when some shapes “break” the frame and actually appear to go off the paper.1. After viewing Van Gogh’s sunflower print from 1888, give the students an extra large paper, (I used 10" x 13") and an old CD to use as a template. They are to trace the CD just once somewhere on the paper – left, top, or right side, extended a bit off the page.
2. Students may add their own radiating flower petals, stems and leaves. They should give some consideration to making their artwork look balanced. For instance, if one large flower is on the right, then a couple of smaller ones should be added to the left to create a visual balance.

3. When the pencil drawing is complete, all lines are traced with a gray oil pastel (I used the Portfolio® brand). The flowers and sky are colored in. Heavy coloring will imitate the dense look of Van Gogh’s paintings.
