Artist of the Month: Van Gogh








This month's artist we're studying is Vincent Van Gogh. We talked about his self portraits and about why he may have cut off his ear. We talked about still life and landscapes. We looked at many pictures of his paintings. I took out the tempera paints in bright colors and set them on the table along with some brushes thinking we were going to paint self portraits or maybe landscapes but the boys had their own idea and decided to paint pinecones they found at the beach instead thus incorporating nature and bright colors like the ones Van Gogh used.
