<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of artwork for children by Vincent van Gogh and other French artists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Swirling, curling brushstrokes. 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 <i>Van Gogh and the Post-Impressionists for Kids</i> 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.</p> Kids journey from the Netherlands to Paris to southern France as they learn about van Gogh's 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. </p> Twenty-one creative projects bring history and art to life. Readers will create a <i>Starry Night</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book is an excellent resource for students and teachers. The extensive biographical information not only provides solid material for school reports, but also makes for a truly fascinating read. --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Carol Sabbeth</b></b> is the author of <i>Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera</i>, <i>Monet and the Impressionists for Kids</i>, and <i>Crayons and Computers</i>.
