Van Gogh inspired Sunflowers

A colleague once told me "keep it simple stupid".  I jumped into the school year with a project far too complex for our first lesson.  I came back this week with a simpler approach that was quite refreshing for me and the students.
Each table had a still life set up for the students to observe and draw from.  Sharpies were used to outline the pencil drawing, lastly watercolor paint was applied to complete the project.
Here is lower elementary's interpretation of Van Gogh's Sunflower's.
