Vincent van Gogh moved to a yellow house in Arles in 1888, and invited fellow artist Paul Gauguin to join him. Vincent loved the sunny weather in Arles and the vibrant colours of the house. Can the children imagine they are Van Gogh describing the house to Gauguin?
Here's a simple worksheet which asks the kids to write a little bit about the famous artist Vincent van Gogh, and to list some of his most famous works. It's a great worksheet to fill in if you're learning all about famous artists.
Here's a challenging word search puzzle that's great for older kids. Can you find the words relating to Van Gogh's life and works on the grid? There are some quite tricky words to find, and we've included the solution too if you need it...
My favourite Vincent van Gogh painting is the beautiful "Irises" - but which of his works will the children choose to recreate in our Vincent van Gogh picture gallery? Perhaps "The Starry Night", or "Sunflowers"?
