van Gogh to your room

Discover how places inspire artists and how they represent these spaces through paint and perspective. This exploration focuses on Vincent van Gogh's iconic "Bedroom at Arles" series and the use of one-point perspective to create the illusion of three dimensions. Students are encouraged to reflect on their personal spaces, considering colors, objects, and lines, using mixed media techniques to create their own representations of a meaningful place. Engage with the works of contemporary artist Andrea Zittel and the concept of personal expression through art.
