For Picture Study we will spend 2 weeks on each of the following pieces:
- Starry Night
- Starry Night Over the Rhone
- Bank of the Oise at Auvers
- Girl in the Woods
- Water Mill at Kollen Near Nuenen
- View of Paris from Vincent's Room in the Rue Lepic
For those unfamiliar, Picture Study is simple.Have the child(ren) look at one of the paintings/prints silently for 5 minutes. Remove the picture from view and have the child(ren) tell you about the picture... what they saw, what they felt, what colors were there.. just whatever comes to their minds. This is done 3x per week.
We will be using the following resources.
Books:
Camille and the Sunflowers
Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings
Katie and the Sunflowers (Orchard Picturebooks)
Internet Resources:
The Van Gogh Gallery
Van Gogh and Gauguin

Happy Homeschooling!

Van Gogh was one of the first artists we studied when we began CM artist study so long ago. I think it may be time to revisit him. I personally love his work. It's so kid friendly.
ReplyDeleteHi Jimmie!! Thanks for visiting. I've never cared for van Gogh art.. I never knew why. I suppose it's the rough strokes and lack of detail.
ReplyDeleteI am, however, looking forward to getting to know him as a person. The more I do, the more of his paintings I actually like.
Thanks for the great resources! I also love studying Van Gogh!!
ReplyDeleteHi Angie!
ReplyDeleteThe more I learn of him..the more I like him!!
