Sunflower Painting

  LI: to paint a still life of sunflowers in the style of vincent van gogh. 


During the past few weeks LS2 has learnt about Vincent van Gogh. Inspired by his paintings, we decided to make a painting of our own. We were inspired by his 'still life' paintings of the sunflowers. The meaning behind the sunflower painting of Vincent van Gogh was to be made for his friend, Paul Gaughin. Vincent van Gogh made the sunflower painting for his friend in order to hang on his wall as something to lighten up the room. We made different shades of colors by mixing and toning 2 or more colors. We kept in mind that we shouldn't overload our paint brushes and to create sharp edges and lines for our vase. After finishing our paintings we put them up on our class walls.

  1. Greetings Fau,

    Wow! I am very impressed with your this DLO of yours. Yes, I also was very inspired by his 'Still Life' Paintings. Did you know he cut off part of his ear to gift it to his girlfriend? I really like how you have described Vincent's art. I would've really liked to learn more about his life and more of his painting.

    How much do you think his Paintings are worth now(specifically the sunflowers)?

    Great Work!

    1. Hi Sulia!

      Thank you for commenting on my blog today! I actually did know that Vincent van Gogh cut off part of his ear for his girlfriend. That was certainly surprising! Nowadays, I think since Vincent van Gogh was the inspiration for still life to other artists that his art should cost at least over 1 million dollars.

      How much do you think his paintings are worth?
