Ode to Van Gogh

For my last lessons for my Enrichment Program students, we will be doing an Ode to Van Gogh.
He is one of my favorite artists. I couldn't believe it when I saw one of his originals at the DIA - I believe it was Irises (or maybe Sunflowers - I was blown away!) I kept asking my sister Mary if it was a copy because it 'couldn't be THE original'.
We are doing a replica of Starry Night, of course.
