Four sessions to get to know the artist , his life, the central themes he dealt with, indulge in some practical processes which get closer to the artist’s ways of working and state of mind. Through the four sessions , we will start with a brief introduction and a review of Van Gogh’s drawings.
Then the workshop will hinge on a look at self‐portraits as a medium of self‐ expression and a general overview of his practical work. You will also take a look at photographs of yourselves and drawings you may have done through the years and what they tell about you of your time then.
