We had a wonderful time at the Van Gogh Exhibit: The Immersive Experience. This is a new digital way to experience information about the artist. The VR experience was a novelty something I haven\u2019t done before that is experienced in a separate gallery from the digital projections. The virtual reality experience will take visitors on a 10-minute journey on \u201ca day in the life of the artist,\u201d allowing them to see the inspiration behind some of van Gogh\u2019s most famous works of art. Other studios and galleries, including a drawing studio, will give visitors an even more in-depth look at the artist. One thing I would suggest to learning about Van Gogh is his signature Impasto. This is a technique used in painting, where\u00a0paint is laid on an area of the surface thickly, usually thick enough that the brush or painting-knife strokes are visible<\/strong>. Paint can also be mixed right on the canvas. When dry, impasto provides texture; the paint appears to be coming out of the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for the brush-strokes to appear even thicker and more expressive, artists did not shy away from using thickening agents on occasion. This would lend the painting an incredible texture. One of the substances widely used for this purpose, for instance, was wax. With each brush-stroke, the touches of the palette knife or spatula were imprinted on the painting. Works featuring this technique were produced by artists from a wide range of movements and eras: the Renaissance, the Baroque period, Impressionism, Expressionism, Post-Impressionism. Interestingly, the Impressionists applied paste from tubes directly onto the canvas, creating the outlines required with a brush once the paint was\u00a0in situ<\/em>. In the era of Impressionism and Expressionism, this technique made it possible to obtain a wonderful mirror-image of a crumpled or broken surface, to pick out areas of light amid the darkness, and to emphasize a space. It was the perfect way to convey feelings, concerns and emotions for the paintings of the Expressionists, for them to express their egos on canvas, and to show what is accessible only to those who see, not to those who merely look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
