Slide 8 - Diapositive

Tell the kids that they are going to write a story to go with Van Gogh’s painting The Bedroom. It doesn’t have to be true, they can make everything up if they want.


First make a mind map, with all your ideas for the story. Write down individual words. Then think of the story.

Slide 9 - Diapositive

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

-    Draw a chair
-    Paint your chair
-    Reflection on the paintings
shape, material and colour

Slide 17 - Diapositive

-    Shape, material and colour + colour wheel

Explain: To design a chair that suits you, think about three things:
1. Shape (straight or curved lines, closed or open, four legs or another design, armrests or not, backrest high/low, decoration, etc.)
2. Material (hard/soft, patterned/plain, old/new, etc.)
3. Colour (bright colours, contrasts, colours that are close together, pastel shades, black-and-white)

Slide 18 - Diapositive

Ask if the kids know the colour wheel. Point out how you can mix colours and that some colours are close together and some are far apart. 
Draw a chair

Slide 19 - Diapositive

Now, step by step, draw a chair in perspective with the kids.

Slide 20 - Diapositive

First (1, 2 and 3), draw a cube with charcoal using very thin lines. The children should use charcoal.

Then (4, 5 and 6) use a thick line to draw over the lines of the cube that make a chair.  

And rub out the other lines as much as possible.

Slide 21 - Diapositive

If you think drawing a cube is too complicated for these kids, there is another way. It doesn’t give them as much insight, but it can save time (and frustration).
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 a chair leg thicker, as an example (5 and 6).

Slide 22 - Diapositive

Paint the chair

Slide 23 - Diapositive

Reflections:

Place or hang the paintings next to each other and talk about them together. You might like to use the following questions. NB: there are no right or wrong answers here.
  • Are there any chairs where you can easily tell who painted it?
  • Which chairs have interesting shapes or materials?
  • Who used unusual colours?
  • Did you enjoy making the paintings?
Lesson 4: Photos

Slide 25 - Diapositive

Explore with the kids which feeling goes best with this painting and why.
'They’re immense stretches of wheatfields under turbulent skies, and I made a point of trying to express sadness, extreme loneliness.'
In the final weeks of his life, Vincent made a number of impressive paintings of the wheatfields around Auvers, near Paris. This is one of them.

Slide 26 - Diapositive

Then explain: Vincent wrote to Theo telling him that he was trying to express sadness and extreme loneliness in this empty landscape (see hotspot). 
Let’s get to work

Explain: These are the steps to make your portrait. Mention them briefly. First choose three characteristics that suit you. In step two we’re going to use the things you brought. In step three we’ll make a quick sketch of our ideas. And in step four we’ll take the photo and write a label for it.

Vincent van Gogh 1853 - 1890 
The Bedroom, 1888
oil on canvas
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation)

 Van Gogh became increasingly skilled in using colour and style to express emotions. For instance, the bright tones of his bedroom had to convey ’utter repose’ in a period during which he felt anything but calm due to all of his hard work. He hoped that his paintings would afford comfort not only to himself, but others as well. Van Gogh was convinced that this now famous painting had that: ‘When I saw my canvases again after my illness, what seemed to me the best was the bedroom.’

Slide 31 - Diapositive

-    Looking at the Van Gogh Museum
Let’s get to work! 
  1. Stories from lesson 1
  2. Drawings from lesson 2
  3. Paintings from lesson 3
  4. Photos from lesson 4

Slide 32 - Diapositive

-    Working in groups (stories, drawings, paintings, photo’s) Who did arrange a 5th group?

Divide the class into four groups.
1. Stories from lesson 1
2. Drawings from lesson 2
3. Paintings from lesson 3
4. Photos from lesson 4
(Optional: A fifth group can arrange an opening ceremony, with a speech and a ribbon to cut, for example, and a press release to announce it to the public)

Each group should ensure that the collection of artworks that they are responsible for is shown as well and as attractively as possible. Give each group a place where they can show their artworks. Show them the materials they can use, as discussed in lesson 4.

Reflection

Slide 33 - Diapositive

Reflect on the entire series
Round off the series of lessons with two general questions:
- What have you learned about Vincent van Gogh in these lessons?
- What have you learned about yourself in these lessons?

NB The second question is intended to start a conversation about how the kids relate to making art. Do they enjoy it, or is it a struggle? It was both for Vincent van Gogh. But he kept on practising, no matter what happened. 
Try to draw more information out of the kids in this last discussion. What did you enjoy, what was easy, and what problems did you have? Is there a particular piece, or a part of something you made, that you’re really proud of? Were you secretly jealous of something that someone else made? When you were making your artworks, were you worried the whole time about what it would look like, or were you able to let that go? Etc. Where possible, make links to Vincent, how he went about making art.
