Here is a site you may enjoy as well. It is photos of Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. It is difficult to believe Van Gogh produced most of his work in a ten year span and much of that was under duress. Van Gogh is an artist that children love. His vibrant colors, textural painting strokes and visual movement speaks to the mind of a child. Children love bright colors, bold strokes and bursts of movement. My students loved to hear some of the stories of Van Gogh's life. Children have a unique ability to understand and accept that we often lose as adults.
