Nestof3 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 This is the list of resources I compiled for our Van Gogh study last year. We didn't get around to reading all of the books, but there are lots to choose from. http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/2155190/van-gogh-resources-pdf-august-14-2010-3-04-pm-69k?da=y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imhim Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 We studied Van Gogh last year - read a book from the library written by his brother, really interesting. I was reading with my 6 and 4 yo. We got towards the end and I did not realize he killed himself, until I read it!! I had to explain this somewhat mellow to my children, since I was right there reading it. A very tragic end, plus all the mental issues. Just be warned. Don't remember the name of the book, something like Vincent my brother? Anyway, we studied his technique in Starry Night - and my dd did a reproduction of it and got first place in our homeschool group art show. :-) Had to put that in so it won't be all bad.

Nestof3 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 I have the Renaissance Artists and Baroque Artists studies on the left-hand side of my blog. I am almost finished typing up the list of books we used when we studied Monet. My boys were younger, so I didn't do much "appreciation." We just read books and looked at the pretty pictures. :) Thank you for these! do you have any other artist studies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
