History should never be boring, and in this session, an artist’s legacy keeps it lively. Students will learn about artist Vincent van Gogh, an artist who turned his feelings of being different into a revolutionary visual style, leaving subtle personal clues tucked inside his artwork. Students will discuss one of his famous pieces of artwork, and create their own masterpieces in the artist’s style.
