I have been chosen to write a biography about someone who inspires me alsong side some other kids. I choose to write about Vincent Van gogh as he inspires me with his art aspecialy his work “the potato eaters”. A Biography is a story about someone elses life. I have not finished it but here it is so far.
Vincent van Gogh
On March 30th 1853 Vincent van Gogh was born. He was born to a pastor named Theodorus van Gogh. His mother was Anna Carbentus van Gogh, an amateur artist. Vincent was raised in a cultural and religious environment. He also had his younger siblings Theo (Theodoras), Cornelius, Anna, Elisabeth, Willema
He spent one year learning at a village school in zundert. Then Vincent went on to two years in a boarding school in zevenberg. Lastly he spent 18 months at a highschool in tilburg. Those beginning years Vincent spent being calm and observant and not showing interest in art.
At the age of sixteen Vincent studied in the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. This is where he started his passion for art and more information was known about him. He studied here for two months.
He then moved from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts to Avant-garde. There he met his friends Émile Bernard and Paul Gauguin. He studied here for nine months.
Vincent was firstly an art dealer with his uncle. He worked for his uncle for a bit. He was fired because he fighted with customers and argued.
In April 1876 Vincent went on to be a teacher at Ramsgate, an all boys school. In Ramsgate Vincent taught language. Sadly he didn’t last long there either
