Product Description
Learn to draw and paint in the style of Van Gogh.
We had been talking of how to create a lesson around the work of Vincent Van Gogh as we drove through the Carpathian Mountains of western Ukraine. The Karpaty, as they are called in Ukrainian, are a summer paradise with sheep dotting the rounded green mountainsides, clear streams bubbling through the valleys, and quaint villages clustered along the roadside.
When we discovered this shiny-roofed church at the edge of one village, we knew we had something that would let us play with Van Gogh’s style.
In this lesson students will draw the church on construction paper and color it with short strokes of oil pastels.
By placing short strokes of different colors side by side, they will create the vibrant color mixture that distinguishes Van Gogh’s work.
Approximate Time to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 40 minutes
