Vivid colors. Thick layers of paint. These are the hallmarks of a painting by Vincent van Gogh, whose work his fellow artist Paul Cézanne once called that of a madman. But Van Gogh and the Post-Impressionists for Kids moves beyond the image of the mad pauper to reveal a complex young man who loved nature and reading, spoke four languages, and enjoyed a successful career as a gallery salesman before embarking on studies as a minister and, finally, finding his calling as an artist.Kids journey from the Netherlands to Paris to southern France as they learn about van Goghs friendships with four other like-minded painters who admired but were determined to depart from Impressionism: Paul Gauguin, Paul Signac, Émile Bernard, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Aspiring artists and history buffs learn not only how these Post-Impressionists daring shapes, colors, and techniques distinguished their work from what was painted before but also how the men helped one another and whether or not they always got along.Twenty-one creative projects bring history and art to life. Readers will create a Starry Night peep box, make a Pointillist sailboat (that can really sail!), craft a Japanese fold-out album, and much more. The text includes a time line, glossary, and reading list for further study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52157411950880,"sku":"NEW1569762759","price":23.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61AttrzMZ2L.jpg?v=1786043152","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/van-gogh-and-the-post-impressionists-for-kids-their-lives-and-ideas-21-activities-34-for-kids-series-1569762759","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
