Vincent Van Gogh

We read a book this week about Vincent Van Gogh. Imogene like his Sunflowers painting. I thought it was too "yellowy." I had lots to say about every picture. One was too "beardy." One was too "cribby." One was too "dark." One was too "cowboy-ey." None that I really liked very much. Then, we got to paint like Vincent Van Gogh. But I kept my ears. He painted in dashes and swirls and sometimes put the paint straight on the canvas. So, that is what we did.

This one is Imogene's. It is a Person from 'Horton Hears A Who.' If you look carefully, you can see the person with really long eyelashes. 

This is a close-up of Imogene's use of dashes and swirls. She did a pretty good job. 

Here is my painting. It is a red monster that I saw in my dream with some white. 

Here is a close up of my swirly masterpiece. I think I did pretty well. 

I'm not usually one for art, but this one was pretty fun. Much better than when we made those Picasso paintings. - Aidan
