About this School Project (2nd Van Gogh Self-Portraits)
Students in Second Grade studied the many Portraits painted by the artist Vincent Van Gogh and the colors and facial expressions which show emotion. We learned how to draw a person using proportion. The face was colored using impressionist lines like Van Gogh used, where the students selected crayons from our multi-cultural crayon box to match our unique skin colors. The backgrounds of our pictures are either in warm or cool colors, just like Van Gogh used.
