I love Van Gogh's artwork. The colors, the movement, the textures... wow, wow,
wow. How does someone even do that? Yowzers. Gosh, did he make the world so much more beautiful with his art. *Happy sigh* Ok, ok... I'm back. Let's get to today's post! Chuck and I have explored great artwork in the past by making
collages inspired by Matisse and super easy
abstract artwork. So I thought it was high time we tried our hand at
making some artwork inspired by Van Gogh. Except that instead of using real paints... we used some
homemade finger paints!

For months now I kept seeing
Kidzaw Master Art Kits pop up everywhere. (Have you heard of them? They're kits that provide kids with all the materials necessary to make artwork inspired the great artists.) I saw great results with older children and toyed with the idea of buying one to try out. But Chuck's only 2 and I'll be honest, his affinity for arts and crafts varies daily. Yurp. So I came up with this cheaper alternative. The finger paint is super easy to make and you could adapt the design to recreate any of Van Gogh's artwork.
So let's begin!
