To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below the Benefits section of the Learning Guide to Vincent: The Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh.
Benefits: This movie is visually magnificent. The narrative
gives us a window into the hopes and fears of this great artist
and of his attitude toward his work. Specific works and artistic
techniques are discussed as the artist describes for his brother, the
visual and emotional effects that he was trying to achieve. These
letters show Van Gogh to be a sincere, caring man who was
committed to his art and who was, for most of his life, very lonely. The film
also illuminates Van Gogh's relationship with his brother, who believed
in Van Gogh's work and supported him emotionally and financially.
The Learning Guide to Vincent: The Life and Death of Vincent Van Gogh also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
