My elementary class took inspiration from van Gogh's Sunflowers.
My middle school boys were a little less thrilled about creating art with flowers, so we googled some alternate images to inspire them.

Third Week of Classes: Vincent van Gogh
Woo Hoo! Time to learn about Vincent van Gogh. I love van Gogh's work. The kids learned how van Gogh's work wasn't really discovered and/or thought of as brilliant until after his tragic death. Sure, he was a little coo coo for Cocoa Puffs. But van Gogh had a truly original style I find beautiful. His particular style was later coined as Expressionism. His short choppy strokes and dollops of color made his work completely unique to what was going on at the time.
