About the Artist
Paul Gauguin
(1848-1903)
Gauguin's life and art are presented creatively to make art history come alive. Audio excerpts and dress-up props motivate the children to investigate Gauguin’s life and artistic genius. The student artists use oil pastel on black paper to create a Tahitian landscape in the abstract style of Gauguin.
