Primary 4-7 have been learning about Vincent Van Gough and impressionism in Art.
Van Gough was born in the Netherlands in 1853 but sadly died at the age of 37 in 1890. He is what we call a Post-Impressionist painter.
Impressionism is a French movement, developed from an association at the end of the 19th century. The paintings made by the impressionists are generally small, with visible paintbrush strokes.
We had a go at an impressionist painting in the manner of Vincent Van Gough. We took two of his paintings as inspiration: Starry Night and Sunflowers.
These are lovely! Well done!!
