These paintings are beautiful, aren’t they ? P6/1 are going to tell us how they made them tomorrow.
We are studying Europe and have been looking at European artists.We enjoyed copying Van Gogh’s sunflowers. We used acrylic paint and canvas boards. The good thing was it didn’t soak right through and you could paint over it.We had to be careful as it would stain our clothes.Some of our class have bought their own acrylic paint to try it out at home.
Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands but moved to Paris to be with his brother Theo. He lived a lonely and sad life as nobody liked his work (but his brother.) His last painting was of wheat fields. The odd thing is he took his life in one. He used brush strokes really well. We loved it (Mrs MacWilliams was great.)
