Secondary school students visit the Van Gogh Museum independently with assignment cards. Following a short reception, they choose their own route and set to work on various active assignments. Students get to know Vincent van Gogh and form an opinion on his work.
Vincent van Gogh is world-famous. But why? Following a brief, joint reception, the students are given a range of 11 active assignments. These assignments guide them independently through the museum, either individually or in small groups.
Students look for Vincent’s self-portraits, learn about his style, personality and the emotion in his work, and think up their own story to accompany a painting. This helps them get to know Vincent better, but also their own taste.
If you would like to prepare and find out what’s in store for your students, then download the assignment sheets in advance.
