Show children a famous painting, such as Van Gogh's Starry Night. Ask the children to brainstorm descriptive words about the painting. Write these on chart paper. Encourage children to use the words in a complete sentence to describe the painting. Ask, “Who can describe the painting using the word colorful?” This could be done in large group.
