YOU ALSO CAN:
- READ QUOTES BY VINCENT

Slide 8 - Slide

Bedroom:
His own bedroom! 

Colours: 
Explain that the colours we see in the painting now are not the same as the colours Vincent used. Most of the red paint he used was not light-resistant, and it gradually faded out of the image. That’s why the purple wall is now light blue. The floor was also much redder.

Assignment: Write a story to go with The Bedroom
worksheet

Slide 10 - Slide

The kids should write a short story with a clear beginning, middle and end. They can choose from three options:
- What you see in the painting is the beginning of the story
- What you see in the painting is the middle of the story
- What you see in the painting is the end of the story
First make a mind map, with all your ideas for the story. Write down individual words. Then think of the story.

Map

Slide 11 - Slide

AND IN THE SECOND LESSON YOU CAN LOOK CLOSELY AT THE SPECIFIC LOCATION WHERE VINCENT WORKED, USING OLD MAPS AND DRAWINGS. DO YOU THINK HIS PAINTING OF THE BEDROOM WAS ACCURATE?

AND THERE IS A LOT MORE TO DISCOVER.

The kids might indicate that they feel the perspective in the painting is not quite right. There are several reasons for this:
- Vincent’s room was not square, it had a diagonal wall that came to a point in the back right corner (check the hotspot). That is why the line between the floor and the back wall slopes slightly upwards.
- Vincent painted freehand. The lines creating the perspective are not therefore perfectly straight. But Vincent liked that.
- Vincent liked to exaggerate. In this painting, for example, he exaggerated the size of the bed, which makes a few things look out of proportion and it’s a bit like you’re looking at the room through a fish-eye lens.
Creative assignments

Slide 12 - Slide

EVERY LESSON INCLUDES A CREATIVE ASSIGNMENT, WHICH IS PERSONAL AND STUDENT FOCUSSED AND RELATED TO THE BEDROOM.

In the first assignment the students learn how to create depth by objects further or closer in a space. 

 IN THIS VIDEO WE WILL DEMONSTRATE TWO OF THEM: PAINTING A CHAIR (LESSON 3) AND TAKING A PORTRAIT PHOTO (LESSON 4).

Slide 13 - Slide

EVERY LESSON INCLUDES A CREATIVE ASSIGNMENT, WHICH IS PERSONAL AND STUDENT FOCUSSED AND RELATED TO THE BEDROOM. IN THIS VIDEO WE WILL DEMONSTRATE TWO OF THEM: PAINTING A CHAIR (LESSON 3) AND TAKING A PORTRAIT PHOTO (LESSON 4).


Slide 14 - Slide

YOU COULD SAY THAT THESE TWO PAINTINGS ARE LIKE PORTRAITS. EACH ONE TELLS US A LOT ABOUT THE OWNER OF THE CHAIR. WHAT DOES VINCENT’S CHAIR TELL US ABOUT HIM?
- HE LIKES SIMPLE THINGS (IT’S A SIMPLE CHAIR)
- HE LIKES TO SMOKE A PIPE
- HE’S A PRACTICAL/ACTIVE PERSON (THE CHAIR IS NOT MADE TO CHILL OUT IN , IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR DOING SOMETHING ACTIVE LIKE DRAWING OR CHOPPING FOOD
- It SEEMS A KITCHEN CHAIR: MAYBE HE LIKES TO BE TO BE IN THE KITCHEN
- IT IS LIGHT : HE’S A DAYTIME PERSON
- ETC.
AND THIS IS VINCENT’S CHAIR FOR HIS FRIEND PAUL GAUGUIN. WHAT DOES PAUL’S CHAIR TELL US ABOUT HIM?
- HE IS ELEGANT /STYLISH
- HE LIKES TO READ
- AND LOOK AT THE BLUE SHADES: MAYBE HE IS A BIT MYSTERIOUS
- IS AN EVENING OR NIGHT PERSON
- HE HAS A CERTAIN STYLE

Paul Gauguin
Vincent van Gogh

Slide 15 - Slide

THE CHAIR YOU PAINT SHOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOU TOO. SO YOUR CHAIR WILL ACTUALLY BE A SELF-PORTRAIT, JUST LIKE THESE TWO EXAMPLES.

Slide 16 - Slide

NOW, STEP BY STEP, WE WILL DRAW A CHAIR IN PERSPECTIVE.

DON’T MAKE THE LINES TOO THICK, SO THEY CAN BE RUBBED OUT, AND THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE THROUGH THE PAINT.

FIRST (1, 2 AND 3), DRAW A CUBE IN CHARCOAL USING VERY THIN LINES.

THEN (4, 5 AND 6) USE A THICK LINE TO DRAW OVER THE LINES OF THE CUBE THAT FORM A CHAIR.

AND ERASE THE OTHER LINES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

IF YOU THINK DRAWING A CUBE IS TOO COMPLICATED, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY. IT DOESN’T GIVE THE STUDENTS AS MUCH INSIGHT, BUT IT CAN SAVE TIME (AND FRUSTRATION).

Slide 17 - Slide

START BY DRAWING A DIAMOND SHAPE (THE SEAT OF THE CHAIR) IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHEET (1).
THEN DRAW TWO VERTICAL LINES OF EQUAL LENGTH POINTING UPWARDS ... (2)
AND THREE VERTICAL LINES OF EQUAL LENGTH POINTING DOWNWARDS (3) + A LINE CONNECTING THE TWO LINES POINTING UPWARDS (4). SHOW HOW YOU CAN MAKE THE SEAT AND ONE CHAIR LEG THICKER, AS AN EXAMPLE (5 AND 6).

Slide 18 - Slide

NOW YOU’RE GOING TO TURN THIS BASIC CHAIR INTO YOUR OWN CHAIR.
Paint your chair
Margritte
Hockney
Degas

Slide 19 - Slide

YOU DO THIS BY CHANGING AND ADDING THINGS. SHOW THE THREE EXAMPLES ON THE SMARTBOARD.
NOW YOU’RE GOING TO PAINT YOUR CHAIR. THINK AGAIN ABOUT WHAT COLOURS ARE BEST FOR YOU.

Slide 20 - Slide

IN LESSON 4 THE STUDENTS ALSO MAKE A PORTRAIT, IN THE FORM OF A PHOTOGRAPH.

Slide 21 - Slide

THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO DO MAKE AN ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT WHICH, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT WHO THEY ARE. WE WILL DO IT IN STAGES.

Let’s get to work

· AND IN STEP FOUR WE’LL TAKE THE PHOTO AND WRITE A LABEL FOR IT.

 YOU CAN TAKE THE PHOTOS YOURSELF OR A STUDENT WHO’S PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY CAN TAKE THEM. DECIDE WHAT YOU THINK WOULD WORK BEST. ONE BY ONE THE STUDENTS WILL TAKE A PHOTO. MAKE SURE THE BACKGROUND IS AS PLAIN AND EVEN AS POSSIBLE, AND THERE’S GOOD LIGHT. MEANWHILE, THE OTHER STUDENTS CAN WRITE THEIR LABELS EXPLAINING BRIEFLY WHAT THEY WANT TO SAY WITH THEIR PORTRAIT.

Slide 29 - Slide

THE LABEL CAN BECOME SOMETING LIKE THE ONE MADE BY EREN, 11 YEARS OLD:
“In my photo, I'm hiding and looking a little mysterious. Normally I am a sporty and active boy. But.. I'm calmer inside than you might think! I'm sensitive and I don't like it when someone says something about me. The purpose of this photo is to show my sensitive side as well.”

Thank you!
