Do you feel movement and feel color?
If you feel emotions or moods when you study it,
such as sad, scared, tired or happy

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. March 30, 1853…2013-1853=160 years ago
  2. Only 4 photos known to exist of Van Gogh! Here are 2.
  3. The son of a pastor, brought up in a religious and cultured atmosphere, Vincent was highly emotional and lacked self-confidence. Between 1860 and 1880, when he finally decided to become an artist, van Gogh had had two unsuitable and unhappy romances and had worked unsuccessfully as a clerk in a bookstore, an art salesman, and a preacher in the Borinage (a dreary mining district in Belgium), where he was dismissed for overzealousness. He remained in Belgium to study art, determined to give happiness by creating beauty.
  4. So now that we have heard a little bit about the Influence = affect the way one feels about something.
  5. The works of his early Dutch period are somber-toned.
  6. One of his early aspirations was to become a pastor and from 1879 he worked as a missionary in Belgium where he began to sketch people from the local community. In 1885, he painted his first major work The Potato Eaters. Notice the color palette--somber earth tones and showed no sign of the vivid coloration that distinguished his later work…which we will see soon.
  7. Same coloration here…
  8. In March 1886, he moved to Paris and discovered the French Impressionists. Later, he moved to the south of France and was influenced by the strong sunlight he found there. His work grew brighter in color, and he developed the unique and highly recognizable style that became fully realized during his stay in Arles in 1888.
  9. Discuss what differences there is between early paintings.
  10. What do you notice about this painting? Which ones do you like better?
  11. And this change came only in the last 3 years-Remember Potao Diggers was 1885, and the last 2 paintings were 1888.
  12. I bet you have all seen this next paining before! Can you guess what it is???
  13. 1853-1889, 46 years old
  14. Besides paining still life—people, rooms, flowers…
  15. There is the night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon. Do you see how the sky keeps your eyes moving about the painting? Follow the curves, and notice the dot to dot with the stars (small exaggerated brush strokes). Show the horizon line. There lies a small town. There is a peaceful essence flowing from the structures. Perhaps the cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our own warm childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. This steeple casts down a sense of stability onto the town, and also creates a sense of size and seclusion. 3. To the left of the painting there is a massive dark structure that develops an even greater sense of size and isolation. This structure is magnificent when compared to the scale of other objects in the painting. The curving lines mirror that of the sky and create the sensation of depth in the painting. Look at the scale he painted between the towering mountain down to the small leafy bush. Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an Asylum at Saint-Remy in 1889.
  16. Van Gogh's finest works were produced in less than three years in a technique that grew more and more impassioned in brushstroke, in symbolic and intense color, in surface tension, and in the movement and vibration of form and line. Van Gogh's fusion of form and content is powerful; dramatic, lyrically rhythmic, imaginative, and emotional, for the artist was completely absorbed in the effort to explain either his struggle against madness or his comprehension of the spiritual essence of man and nature.
  17. We opted to not re-create Starry Night, because they had done that in Art Class before. So, we chose to have them draw their bedrooms. We used white card stock and began drawing outline with light pencil. Then they colored in with oil pastels. We stressed the use of bright colors, and suggested the sun or moon shining into their window. We discussed HOW to add movement: a ceiling fan spinning, curtains blowing from the wind outside, light glowing around a lamp… They needed about 20 minutes for this and parents may want to help with general room outline. Only spend 5 minutes on the pencil sketch and move into the oil pastels—tell them to keep it simple—it doesn’t have to be every single piece in their bedroom… We showed this website on the white board for how to start the room drawing with lines for the floor to ceiling to walls and furniture: http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Room And don’t forget--SIGN the “painting” just like Van Gogh did!
