Students will learn some basic history in how the times and people around Van Gogh influenced one another.  During this time they will learn some watercolor techniques and experience some basic chemical reactions in the process of their art.  

I love the process of learning and teaching.  In 2000, I traveled to Amsterdam and went to the Van Gogh museum.  This visit sparked something in me to learn more about Van Gogh, the arts, and the world around me.  In my own process of learning I have found a passion for the why's in life.  In Van Gogh's life there were a lot of new innovations that influenced his ability to do art.  I have a passion for educating students in their own learning and adding to their own toolbox with new ideas, tools, and experiences. I have taught on Van Gogh for around 15 years and my students love learning the why's of his life.
