I learned

I just finished my art Imovie on Vincent van Gogh. Doing research about him I learned a few things. I learned that he was insane and killed himself two years after being released from a mental hospital. He had cut off part of his ear in a fit of insanity before being put in the hospital. Vincent was always emotional and he learned how to take out his emotions in art. He started painting around 7 years old. He was born in Holland where he lived with his dad in a religious community where his dad was pastor. He moved to Paris to help be a manager with his brother of an art gallery. While there he ended up meeting really famous artists who he became friends with and learned new techniques from them.
