Kia Ora Readers!
This term in art we have been learning how to do impasto painting. One of our tasks was to research and answer questions about Van Goh. We had to go onto a google doc read the description about Van Goh and go on some websites to find answers to questions. For me it was a little bit tricky to find a answer to the third question because some people had different answers so I was a little confused. But I ended up using my answer I found. I hope you enjoy looking at the answers to the questions!
