Event Details

Join Miss Eileen and Miss Tanya for Meet The Artist Storycrafters! We will be reading a book about Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh and make a craft in the style of his art.

Who Was He?
Vincent Van Gogh (March 30th, 1853 – July 29th, 1890) was born in the Netherlands, but travelled across Europe. He went to France, Belgium and England. When he was in London, he was inspired by all the art he saw in galleries. Van Gogh’s brother, Theo, worked in an art gallery and introduced Van Gogh to many artworks. Van Gogh was interested in painters who were painting everyday life.

When he was 27, he decided to become an artist. Up until then, he had been a teacher, a shop assistant and had dreams of working for the church. All of these experiences inspired his art.
