Van Gogh Art Game Bundle
Ready to liven up your elementary and middle school art curriculum with engaging, step-by-step oil pastel projects? These 4 roll a dice drawing art games based on Vincent Van Gogh will boost student confidence and creativity. Each art project comes with a self-guided PowerPoint and printable handout. Perfect art sub plans!
And, they’ll help time-starved teachers like you create lesson plans quickly. No more searching for art worksheets and artist biography handouts online. Art rubrics, exit tickets, and artist’s reflection worksheets included, too! And, the digital spinners will help integrate technology into your art lessons.
Students will create their own version of Starry Night, Sunflowers, Wheatfield, and Olive Trees using different line varieties to mimic Van Gogh’s brushstrokes.
Plan lessons for students about Post-Impressionism, art history, and art appreciation in a way that excites them. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art!
What’s Included In My Art History Project Bundle
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt any of these Van Gogh projects. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice games to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheets for kids to choose their own elements
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Drawing practice worksheets, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
- Artist biographies leveled for both elementary and middle school students accordingly, so you don’t need to research
- “Big Ideas” reflection worksheets where students write about their art process
- Art rubrics, self-assessment tools to get students thinking about things like craftsmanship and art project goals
- “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
- Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
- Art history coloring page to keep kids inspired by these modern artists outside of the art room

Seeing the example was helpful with this assignment. My students enjoyed rolling the dice and selecting, although some of them might’ve re-rolled until they got what they wanted.

I love the concept behind roll a masterpiece! As students create they are learning (hands-on) about Vincent Van Gogh’s art as well as his style. However, supplemental information on the artist and his artworks could be very beneficial!
Wendy Lazarou –
I would start this unit on the projector, and we would discuss how the picture textures differed. My students loved trying to copy the exact picture the first time, then adapting it to how they wanted it a second time. It was so much fun! I highly recommend it.

While I am not a big fan of Van Gogh, I liked how you presented these. I liked the wheat field piece so much I bought it twice! (No matter… ) 🙂 I like that this is a good way to introduce this artist to the kids.

These are great lessons for substitute teachers or landscape lessons. I would have preferred to see a variety of the game sheets instead of the same options with a different title. Overall, great thing to have when you need a quick solution for class! Thank you!

This was difficult for my 5th graders to do! The challenge is good for them, as we have no art curriculum so I was trying to get them to analyze and look for specific features in the artwork. Thank you for all your hard work on this.
