“Paint Like Van Gogh” is an engaging, hands-on art workshop designed specifically for teens ages 11 to 18. The program offers guided, step-by-step instruction suitable for all skill levels.

No prior art experience required!

Participants will explore the life and artistic style of the renowned post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, learning about his unique brushwork, color choices, and emotional expression.

After a brief introduction and demonstration, participants will create their own Van Gogh–inspired artwork, replicating his style and techniques. Each teen will leave with a completed painting — their own “masterpiece” — to take home and display with pride.

Grades 5+. Registration Required. For more information, contact jsmiley@minlib.net.
