This month in the Art Room students will be creating a series of paintings based on

the work of this month’s Featured Artist, Vincent van Gogh. These paintings will

introduce a few new painting techniques, including Marker Transfer, and will rein-

force past techniques, such as Masking and Tempera Paint Transfer.

The paintings by van Gogh below will be the basis for the student’s own art.
