Van Gogh is a very interesting artist to me. Growing up I have always heard about Van Gogh but didn’t know what made him a notable artist. I went to the Vincent Van Gogh immersive experience and from that day I understood how influential and powerful his brush strokes were to his works. Seeing his paintings come to life through CGI (computer-generated imagery), made his work flow all together. With the use of motion, I was then able to appreciate how he painted. I also struggle a lot with drawing and illustration, but observing his technique is definitely a tool I can include in my arsenal of design techniques.

I would also like to add his life was very interesting and sad as he never was appreciated as an artist during his lifetime. He himself only sold a handful of paintings . His work was appreciated after he passed as his brother’s wife kept their will alive by selling Vincent’s work and publishing his personal letters to his brother. I would highly recommend getting familiar with Van Gogh’s work.
