Exploring the Van Gogh Museum website, I came across the For Children section. I think it's so important that children learn about artists from a young age. I myself was introduced to Van Gogh when I was 9, when we visited Amsterdam art museums. (My parents bought a print of "Landscape at Twilight" and I remember just standing in front of it and staring at it for a while every time I passed by it at home.)
What I like about the Van Gogh Museum's effort is the various options they have for children. Workshops are a given, but they also have birthday party options, among other things.
My top two favourite are the Treasure Hunt, which is free and DIY; and the Colouring Pages, another activity that can be done at home. I think this is a great resource for teachers as they can be downloaded and used as a resource in the classroom. What can be cooler than colouring in one of Van Gogh's paintings, while learning about it in a fun way!
What are your thoughts on this?
