Masterpiece Academy, Vincent Van Gogh -Artist Study and Art Projects

"We cannot measure the influence that one or another artist has upon the child’s sense of beauty, upon his power of seeing, as in a picture, the common sights of life; he is enriched more than we know in having really looked at even a single picture." Charlotte Mason

This is an Flexible Schedule Class, meaning your artist can access lesson materials and complete projects at their own pace, and according to their own schedule.  

In Charlotte Mason style, we will study Impressionist artist Vincent Van Gogh for 4 consecutive weeks, but each week will be an independant art lesson.  Each lesson will be posted in the Classroom on Mondays.  Each lesson will consist of time learning about a particular artist, their style, their life, and studying a work of art from that artist.  Lessons will include biographical information about the artist and a step by step art lesson video creating an art piece inspired by the artwork studied.  In each lesson artists will learn techniques related to beginning fundemental art techniques, as well as elements of art and principles of design.  

Vincent Van Gogh s Post-Impressionist artist.  We will spend each week studying one of his pieces. 
Week 1: Sunflowers
Week 2: Paul Gaugin's Chair
Week 3: Wheatfield With Crows
Week 4: Portrait of Dr. Gachet

Our Classroom is a place where we can communicate with everyone in class. 
It is a lot of fun to upload your work by Fridays for an Art Show.  When you upload your art to the classroom artists will be encouraged to leave positive comments on their classmate's work, and ask questions. I will post on these as well, including personalized video feedback on your artwork.
