Year 10 Art students had the opportunity to experience ‘The Van Gogh Alive’ held in North Adelaide. What an amazing and unique visual experience this was! A plethora of yellow, and beautiful close ups of Vincent Van Gogh’s painting and drawings, enhanced his distinct painting techniques and subject matter.
This inspired the class to experience observational painting in the classroom with everyday objects. Students also attended the Hope Valley Reservoir as further enrichment for painting, 'what they can see' in their own works.
As a class they will continue to develop knowledge and experience of observational painting, just like Vincent Van Gogh and create a refined final painting, derived by observing carefully, exactly 'what is front of you'.
