Van Gogh Resources
Posted by Cindy on March 27, 2009
We just finished up our study of Van Gogh. As usual, I’m adding the resources from my sidebar into a post for future reference. April is our last artist study for the school year. (Yep, we’re almost finished with school – and looking forward to a nice, long summer break!!) We’ll be studying Cezanne. Those resources will be in the sidebar soon.
Lesson Ideas
Sunflowers
Starry Night
Apricot Trees in Blossom
Almond Tree in Blossom
Blossoming Almond Tree
I chose the three paintings above for the purpose of learning to draw trees this spring as they begin to blossom.
Books We Read
Here’s the last art/nature project of the Van Gogh month. After doing picture studies of the spring trees above, we went outside to find trees and bushes in bloom and the kiddos completed their own spring artwork.
hi there! You are pinning lots of your Picture Study gems, and I am loving them all! Thank you!
This is great, and so informative! I love all your wonderful links, pictures of the books you read, directions about completing the art projects…I will definitely visit your site again. Thank you for taking the time!
Really lovely incorporation of ideas and resources. I also found your “Packing it up” post so helpful as I’ll be doing my first portfolio for the school district soon.
Thanks!
The pictures from your study are great. There is a lot of information on your site to study. I will be back many times. Thank you,Marie
These are great, Cindy. We haven’t ‘done’ Van Gogh yet – it will be great having everything together like this when we do!!

I like how you brought your nature and artist study together!
Thanks for all the great links and ideas. We are just starting our Van Gogh study so I’ll be sure to drop back by and see if I can use some of your ideas and book references.
Thanks for posting your resources! I’m bookmarking this page for when we study Van Gogh again.
You find the neatest stuff for your artist studies! Thanks for sharing, & for submitting this to the CM Carnival. I’ll be back to write these down! ♥
