Today we finished up our picture study on Van Gogh.  Ethany and Xavier have really enjoyed learning about Van Gogh, both his life and appreciation of his paintings.  Here is our Van Gogh wall, we have studied each of these paintings for 2 weeks.  We have also completed our own version of several of his works.

Over this time we borrowed a number of books from the library about Van Gogh.  The latest one being the one Xavier liked best.

 Ethany provided an oral narration about Van Gogh today which reads -

"Vincent Van Gogh only lived for a short time and he only sold one of his paintings.  He loved his brother Theo and he wrote a lot of letters for him when he was in London.  Theo sent him lots of paint.  Van Gogh shot himself that is why he only lived for a short time.   He is famous now.  Van Gogh went on a job hunt before he went to Paris."

Ethany also completed some copywork about Van Gogh, she was quite fascinated by his job hunt.
