Twentieth century Art – Post Impressionism

Vincent Van Gogh (1853-90)
Famous for his conscious exaggeration of natural appearances for emotional suggestive effects. His works include: Starry Night, The Night Café, Self Potrait…

We have taught our students to apply conceptual arts into their daily art practice. Here are a few examples. Below is Loong Min Shen’s (15) work done with poster colour on art paper. Notice the amount of details in the work & the brush strokes. It is important to understand the usage of various artists’ style. Here, we tried the impetuous brush strokes & dramatic distortions of colour & objects. The practice of strokes & details have built up a lot of confidence & patience in children.






Take a look at photo below. This is done by one of the junior students, Hey Ting Fang (6). With guidance, she had turned a simple night scene into a conceptual art form.


Other examples of Van Gogh’s theory.
