Van Gogh’s Apprentice – Painting on Canvas
Step into the shoes of one of history’s most iconic artists! In this engaging workshop, students will explore the life and style of Vincent Van Gogh, learning what made his art so expressive, bold, and unforgettable. Through guided instruction and hands-on painting, young artists will study Van Gogh’s famous sunflower series and use what they’ve learned to create their own vibrant painting on canvas.
Along the way, students will learn how Van Gogh used color, texture, and brushwork to bring emotion into his art—and how they can do the same. They’ll explore concepts like movement, composition, and layering, all while building confidence in their own creative voice.
Each child will leave with a finished canvas painting inspired by Van Gogh’s sunflowers, plus a deeper appreciation for how great artists turn simple subjects into something truly special. No prior painting experience needed—just curiosity and a love of color.
