Inspired By Vincent Van Gogh is scratch art with an artistic twist. As you scratch the surface of the cards with the wooden stylus you will gradually uncover artist Muriel Yerba's interpretation of Van Gogh's paintings.The hidden motifs designed by Muriel Yerba pop with brilliant colors and fun patterns as they emerge. Each of the four inspired works of art have step-by-step pictures that gradually bring the art to life. Timberdoodle has three Art components in their 2022 6th Grade Curriculum Kit and Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh is one of them. The kit says that the age range is for 5-99 years old. For the younger child this scratch art kit will help build their fine motor and visual awareness. This is a fun way to introduce the younger child to one of the greatest artists in history. You most definitely do not have to be a child to enjoy this fun activity.
What is in the kit:
- Four scratch art cards with the outlines of the images to help you get started
- One double ended wooden stylus
- Inspired By booklet with the step-by-step instructions for creating the four art inspired interpretations of Van Gogh's paintings
"If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint,
then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced."
Vincent Van Gogh
This may not be painting but it is still creating art.
Tournesols
in English is translated as a sunflower.
You can see what spaces within the outlined image need to be scratched.
Some of the spaces will be totally scratched while others will be scratched
with a pattern for you to follow. The black is to let you know what
spaces will be scratched off in the next picture when you turn the page.
You can see the vibrant colored flowers emerging from under
the blue mask as it awaits to be scratched.
Masterpiece
My thought is that Muriel Kerba got her inspiration from this painting.
This is just my opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh's Vase With Twelve Sunflowers.
Voiliers
in English is translated as a sailing boat or ship.
It is so satisfying to scratch the blue away revealing what is underneath.
I have bi-weekly infusions for 3 hours. I decided to grab the kit and
put it into my backpack before leaving the house. It was a great way to pass
the time and I really enjoyed doing it too. It was very relaxing.
When I finished I got on my computer to look for more
Inspired By scratch art kits. This would be the perfect gift to give
someone who is going through challenging times medically.
Art is very therapeutic.
Final Reveal
My thought is that Muriel Kerba got her inspiration from this painting.
This is just my opinion.
Vincent Van Gogh's Seascape At Saintes-Maries.
Both have boats rocking in the waves. The
Paysage
in English is translated as a landscape.
My daughter is really concentrating on getting the patterns
as close to what is shown in the booklet.
You can see the black in the sky on the left hand side of the booklet.
That tells you what will be scratched in the next picture.
Lighting up the landscape.
Voila
My thought is that Muriel Kerba got her inspiration from this painting.
This is just my opinion.
Paysage by Vincent Van Gogh. The two are named the same.
They are both quite colorful. Van Gogh's has a beautiful flower
garden and one small shed or cottage. The sky is a beautiful
shade of greenish blue. The Inspired By Vincent Van Gogh
has a billowing landscape and sky made up of colorful patterns.
The two cottages are nestled back into the picture.
Vieux Chênes
in English is translated as the old oak tree.
The blue scratch off can make quite a mess. It is very hard to keep it
contained in one spot. If it does get on your clothing it just brushes off.
At least that was our experience.
Nailed It!
My thought is that Muriel Kerba got her inspiration from this painting.
This is just my opinion.
The Large Plane Trees by Vincent Van Gogh.
Plane trees are actually sycamore trees. The
Inspired By Vincent Van Gogh trees are
oak trees. If you take away the buildings,
people, stones, and what looks to me like autumn leaves and
add in a moon, blue sky, and of course the colorful patterns you
have a likeness to Van Gogh.
I would most definitely recommend Inspired By Vincent Van Gogh.
This art kit is a great addition to your art/art history homeschooling curriculum.
Inspired By Vincent Van Gogh is also a great "just for fun" activity,
to give as a gift for the young and old, or even to take to your next get
together with friends.
This Inspired By... is a fantastic opportunity to learn
more about Van Gogh. You could visit your local museum to see if
they have any Van Gogh paintings. Researching Van Gogh's life and
paintings and for the younger child making a lap book. You know that
you are a homeschooler when you see all of the possibilities that can be
found in just about anything, lol.

These are so beautiful! Love the review and am looking this product up as my daughter would adore it – and if she doesn't, I will. ;)
