A clear, concise fact file of the life and work of Vincent van Gogh. A great resource to give to students to support and develop their understanding of the work of one of the world’s most influential artists. The 6 page resource also includes a worksheet that allows students to check their understanding of the information provided and also develop their analytical skills by considering their own views of the artwork. Finally, students are invited to develop their own artistic skills by producing artwork inspired by the work of Vincent van Gogh.
Ideal as a substitute lesson, for emailing to students remote learning, or as a basis for an Art History lesson.
Suitable for Secondary School students.
Watch out for lots more artist fact files dropping soon.
Do your students ever complain that they don’t see the point of visual art education? I know mine do!
So, I give them this handout to help them see the amazing opportunities that art provides and how the skills learnt through art education support other subjects and simply add a wealth of qualities to a person’s life.
The handout has also got lots of cool visuals and is written in a student friendly style.
Hope it helps.
