Post Impressionism Age

Welcome to Post Impressionism Age!
We are going to make Vincent Van Gogh inspired art for this unit.
What a perfect way to start Year 3 of Artyology!

This art project can be messy. I would recommend that you set up a printing station at the back of the class and have 5-7 students come at a time.

Here are some examples:

Impressionism Age


We will end this year with Impressionism Age. We had a fantastic year thanks to all the volunteers. Thank you!

Please go outside and paint for the art project if it is possible. I know it is not convenient, but the students will love it, and painting outside is what artists did during this period.
