Hello Artists! Just a reminder that even though I am posting every day, you do not have to complete every activity. I would be so happy to see or hear that every week you completed a single daily doodle, prompt of the week, or art of the day activity. Don't forget you can email me pictures at [email protected] . I will post the pictures on the gallery page above. What do you see? What do you think is happening? What do you wonder?
From the AIC: Vincent van Gogh so highly esteemed his bedroom painting that he made three distinct versions: the first, now in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; the second, belonging to the Art Institute of Chicago, painted a year later on the same scale and almost identical; and a third, smaller canvas in the collection of the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, which he made as a gift for his mother and sister. Although the picture symbolized relaxation and peace to the artist, to our eyes the canvas seems to teem with nervous energy, instability, and turmoil, and effect heightened by the sharply receding perspective.
