The impressive artworks produced by the children stem from the DHL x Van Gogh Museum Heart for Art educational programme, which following a successful start in the United States, is now also active in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Art teachers enthusiastically share their experiences and reflect on the impact that the lessons have on their pupils.
The Heart for Art programme, which launched in the United States in 2022, is a resounding success. The educational programme, developed by the educators at the Van Gogh Museum, continues to inspire and challenge pupils in their creative development, just as Vincent van Gogh’s work and life story has done for generations.
In the past academic year, the lessons reached a total of 17.694 pupils on 94 schools in New York, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, and in the past six months, the lessons were also introduced in Argentina. DHL arranges the international distribution and logistical coordination, ensuring that the teachers have everything they need for the lessons.
