Van Gogh Trail

Today we went on a walk to find out things about Vincent Van Gogh. We learned that Vincent was an artist who died when he was 37. He painted a lot of his pictures in Saint Remy de Provence, which is where we are staying in France. This was because he lived there at the hospital for quite a while because he was a little bit sick. He painted a lot of pictures that were made to look 3 dimensional. A lot of his paintings were about nature. When he was alive he was very sad because his life wasn’t always the best. He even cut off his own ear! Vincent was born in Holland. He always signed his pictures with just ‘Vincent’ at the bottom of his paintings. Some of his paintings had people with blank faces; he didn’t draw on eyes, noses or mouths. The way he drew his pictures was with lots of little curvy lines in different colours.
