Search reproductions of works of Van Gogh that you like the most. Imagine that your favourite work
will be exposed along the highway and you, driving a car, see it standing there.Choose the materials you like to make this drawing with.

The big art robbery

they looked for for a painting to steal. They stole some paintings, but their car (full with
paintings) was found the same day somewhere else in the city.In this assignment you have to try to show the atmosphere and the excitement of the moment of looking for a painting to steal.

Potato eaters in new style
Take a really good look at the potato eaters, because you have to base your work upon the same arrangement of figures and
objects like Vincent did. But you have to place these figures and objects in a nowadays environment (a
living-room, restaurant, snackbar etc.). The people have to wear today's clothes.» click here to see some more examples of student works.
