This week, Year 4 have been studying the works of Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. First we found out a little about him, then we had a class critique of some of his art work. We looked at the style of his work and the way that he used lines to create different moods and images.
Finally, after practising different techniques, we tried to recreate one of van Gogh’s more famous pieces ‘Starry Night’. Van Gogh painted it from memory during the day, as he was not able to paint from his bedroom. But he was able to create sketches in ink and charcoal and it was these sketches that we recreated. Have a look at some of our fabulous sketchbook and art work.
