Outside the Museum ~ poor Jassy was trying to smile with a split lip.

Today was an excursion to the van Gogh museum! The children's audio-tour was fascinating and we all got to learn about this incredible artist's life.  The vibrant colours and images where brilliant to see in these paintings!

Michael's favourite painting was the Courting Couple "I think it's amazing how he did that painting using dots" 

Jasmine enjoyed the Japanese influence on Vincent's career and "how he did the palm trees, they were very Japanese"

Samantha wasn't sure what she liked most about Vincent van Gogh's paintings. But she can sure say his name in a very dutch, guttural sounding way!

At home we went into alot more detail about his life reading from the Adventures in Art book about van Gogh.
