Here she is again, our Aras van Gogh!

Brilliant sketching, Aras! You have great artistic talent.

Keep studying and go to Art School 🙂

A smashing success! Our artists in residence :)

The children became experts on perspective, texture, color, and of course, having fun!

Chairs? We have ’em!

So colorful and well done!

We have plenty of chairs!

Aren’t the children’s watercolors wonderful?

We’ve finished sketching and painting either our Vincent van Gogh chair or our Paul Gaugin chair!

“Would you care to have a seat?”

We realize we can translate the Dutch title by breaking up the long word into smaller pieces!

We have begun discussing several of Vincent van Gogh’s works of art. The first is “The Potato Eaters”, 1885. As we examine this painting we see clearly how difficult life was for these folks.

Our resources include many art books, some written for children, a DVD about the artist, and the Google Art Project. Google allows us to travel through our virtual world to the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
