Bright Horizons – Discovering Van Gogh and Post-Impressionists Through Picture Study

Step into the swirling skies, golden fields, and vivid colours of the Post-Impressionists with Bright Horizons, a rich and accessible art appreciation course for home learning. Based on the Charlotte Mason method of picture study, this resource encourages students to slow down, observe closely, and engage meaningfully with timeless works of art.

Featuring 16 carefully chosen paintings by artists Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and Henri Rousseau, each lesson guides students through quiet observation, narration, and reflection. No prior art knowledge is needed, just a willingness to look with fresh eyes.

This resource is also included in our Art Appreciation Course as a convenient PDF. When you join as a course member, you’ll unlock free access to all of our art appreciation courses.

Whether you’re teaching at home or enriching a school curriculum, Bright Horizons offers a thoughtful, creative introduction to the beauty and emotion of Post-Impressionist art.
