Master Artist spotlight series: Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh: A Starry Night – with a personalized winter touch.

Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch painter and one of the greatest Post-impressionists. He was known for his striking colours, layered brushstrokes, and shapely forms. He loved painting the night skies. He had a rough life that was filled with sadness and failures. He struggled with mental health problems, including feelings of anger and sadness, and was not able to control his emotions. His paintings that no one wanted to buy are now worth millions of dollars, some of the most expensive paintings in the world. One of his most famous works was A Starry Night.

Div. 12 learned a little bit about his life and created their own masterpieces in the style of Van Gogh’s starry night skies- swirls, stars, movement, and colours.  You will find these beautifully displayed in the hallway outside of our classroom!
